Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of 'Nyad', the Netflix movie that brings to life the awe-inspiring journey of Diana Nyad's historic swim from Cuba to Key West in 2013. This DeepDive will bring together the team who created the breathtaking visual effects that immerse viewers in Nyad's remarkable story.

Our speakers Mohsen Mousavi (DNEG VFX Supervisor), Jelena Stojanovic (DNEG Compositing Supervisor), Keyao Zhu and Roberto Rodricks (DNEG FX Supervisors) are joined by our very own Lee Berger (Executive VP, Business Development) who will moderate the DeepDive. They will dive into the intricacies of their work on the film, focusing on the creation of a completely photorealistic simulated ocean surface. From envisioning the water as the third character in the narrative to seamlessly replacing water in close-up shots while preserving the actor's performance, we'll explore the challenges and innovations that went into bringing this story to life on screen.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into the creative process behind 'Nyad' and learn how DNEG's groundbreaking visual effects work helped to elevate the film's storytelling to new heights. Join us for an unforgettable journey into the world of cinematic magic and inspiration!

The presentation will be followed by a live Q&A with the team.
