Netflix’s Discover Your Future, directed by Show Yanagisawa, brought together multiple iconic worlds, each with its own creative and technical challenges. For the team behind the film, the question was never simply practical or VFX, but what should be real, what should be created digitally — and how the two could work together to make the impossible feel seamless.
Joined by Orlee Tatarka (Wieden+Kennedy), Executive Producer Suzanne Hargrove (PRETTYBIRD), Production Designer Dan Betteridge and Creative Director Ryan Knowles (Electric Theatre Collective) this session unpacks some of the film’s biggest challenges and the decisions behind them: what to build, what to capture in camera, what to extend or transform digitally, and where the line between physical and virtual began to disappear. Speakers will use specific examples, not just to show how they pulled it off, but why they chose one approach over another — revealing a process in which production design, practical effects and VFX weren’t separate stages, but different tools used to build the same final image.
The panel will take place Tuesday, October 6th.
