One of the most refreshing parts of the process for Favreau has been getting to test this tech on smaller stuff. Usually high-powered technologies such as the ones used in this production are reserved for flashy action sequences or scenes in space. It’s a set few in Hollywood, with maybe the exception of the folks that worked on Favreau’s The Jungle Book, have ever experienced before. "It starts to hopefully feel like you’re watching something that’s not a visual effects production, but something … emotionally feels as realistic as if you’re watching live-action creatures,” Favreau remarked. Through building in these tiny details, the goal is to more deeply immerse the audience in the story. They go around adjusting the sets, fixing everything from trees to elephant trunks, and filming scenes. Trying to make sense of how any of this works is enough to make your head spin, but we have the best guide in the business: None other than Iron Man and The Jungle Book director, and executive producer and writer of The Mandalorian, Jon Favreau.Įach and every day, Favreau and his team mill about this world making their live-action (or is it animated? More on that later) version of The Lion King. Want to see it from a bird’s eye perspective? Or maybe from the perspective of a bug? Wish you were at the elephant graveyard instead? Or that the tree on the right side was moved a little bit more … to the right? With just a couple of toggles, anything is possible. We strap on a pair of goggles, grab a console, and just like that, we are there - witnessing one of animation’s most cinematic locations, in a 360-degree immersive medium. First seen in the 1994 animated epic, next in the long-running Broadway stage show, and now rendered through the magic of some of cinema’s most modern technology.īut unlike those other Pride Rocks, this one we can experience.
And yet, we didn’t come all this way just to gaze at the view. The sun rolling is high on a sapphire-esque sky and a gentle breeze in the air.
