Learn Visual Development with Ian Gooding

Ian Gooding, who has been a production designer and art director at Disney for over 30 years, joins us to discuss how he approaches visual development for film and animation. Gooding’s credits include Encanto, Moana, Wreck it Ralph, Princess and the Frog, Treasure Planet, Chicken Little, and more. Gooding will address how these classic and popular films are developed visually; how to build a career in film and animation as an artist; and the challenges of working on major, longform projects, and how to overcome them. Gooding will be joined by Umakanth Thumrugoti, a League instructor and prolific artist and filmmaker. This lecture, part of Umakanth Thumrugoti's Concept, Character and Storyboarding class, is free and open to the public. The speaker will be joining us via Zoom.
