The Other Large Thing
Overview

For The Other Large Thing, a Season 4 episode, Yates Holley supervised the episode's CG team, with characters, sets, and lighting reviewed in real time in Unreal Engine.

Visual development

Creating the right tone and atmosphere was critical to making the world feel charming, strange, and believable. Using Unreal Engine, the team reviewed in real time, allowing creative decisions to happen quickly and with more visual clarity.

Visual development

The team explored multiple room layouts, color temperatures, and lighting conditions to shape the mood of the episode.

We wanted each character to feel alive before the story even began. The details in their movement, expressions, lighting, and environment all had to work together to make this strange little world feel real.
