LA, CA 5/14: Designing TFA with James Clyne & Iain McCaig

In a galaxy far, far away, ILM Art Director James Clyne and Episode VII Concept Artist Iain McCaig responded to a call to arms sent out to artists across the realms. At Gnomon, on May 14th, 4:00 PM PDT, Clyne and McCaig will chronicle their inspired journeys, giving a rare look into the uncharted challenges of re-awakening The Force.
Discover the art, architecture, film, and pop culture influences that contributed to the designs of Star Wars: Episode VII. Plus, learn the importance of creating a narrative in concept design, and enjoy insights into Clyne and McCaig’s tried-and-tested workflows. See how Clyne’s set designs translated to set constructions on stage, and ultimately discover what it’s like to work on one of the most beloved franchises in movie history. Attendees will also have a unique opportunity to peek inside the sketchbook of Iain McCaig, to enjoy a selection of never-before-seen drawings captured during the many, many meetings he sat in for The Force Awakens.
