The session will include insights into the early development of MARVEL'S SPIDER-MAN: MILES MORALES and how it quickly became clear that they needed to divide the work and what they did to tackle this. Gavin will talk about the Character Art, Cinematic and VFX Art Direction and pipelines and Jason will share his experience Art Directing the colour script, the environment art concept pipeline and cultural representation.
