Framestore is hosting a live webinar featuring FX Lead TD Evan Peignet, who will dissect the technical artistry behind the magical effects in Wicked. From the smallest shimmering detail to large-scale spectacle, the event will showcase how procedural workflows and advanced simulations were used to build the whimsical world of Oz.
Attendees can expect an insider’s breakdown of Glinda’s bubble effect, along with a look at the technology Framestore used to generate convincing crowds of Munchkins. Peignet will highlight how modern procedural techniques turn visual ideas into production-ready magic.
Executive Producer Martina Chakarova will host the session, which wraps up with a live Q&A. This is a chance for VFX professionals and digital artists to get direct answers from Framestore’s production floor and see how cutting-edge workflows are shaping Wicked’s fantasy.
Tuesday 8 July: 17:00 BST / 09:00 PT / 12:00 ET
