Matt Aspbury — VES Award-winning Director of Photography
Stephen Marshall — VES Award, Annie Award & Technical Achievement Academy Award-winning Effects Supervisor
Peter Demarest — HPA Award-winning Compositing Lead

The discussion was moderated by David Tanaka, VES Fellow and global VES Board 1st Vice Chair, offering thoughtful insight into the craft and collaboration behind the film.
