 Season Two
DESCRIPTION:Stephen James, Melaina Mace, and Roberto Rodricks (DNEG)\n\nJo
 in DNEG VFX Supervisor Stephen James, DFX Supervisor Melaina Mace, and FX 
 Supervisor Roberto Rodricks for a behind-the-scenes look at the visual eff
 ects that brought the incredible episodic series ‘The Last of Us’  to life
 !\n\nFollowing the success of its award-winning work on the first season, 
 DNEG was proud to return as a key visual effects partner for the highly an
 ticipated second season. To kick off the session, the team will take the a
 udience back to the first season where they reimagined, recreated, and bro
 ught to life iconic locations and environments from the video game, delive
 ring over 530 visual effects shots across 71 sequences. \n\nNow – in the s
 eries’ second season – Stephen, Melaina, and Roberto will discuss the show
 ’s evolution and how the iconic visuals have developed and changed since t
 he first season. \n\nThis season, the DNEG team imagined and built a post-
 apocalyptic Seattle, taking what they had learned from the first season an

 uge storm, demanding some of the most detailed and complex ocean and water
