‘3 Body Problem,’ ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Teams on the Magic of World Building | Collaborators

It’s no small feat to build worlds as expansive in size and scope as Netflix’s sci-fi thriller “3 Body Problem” and adventure-fantasy series “Avatar: The Last Airbender” — the former adapted from a series of Chinese novels and the latter is the live-action version of the beloved anime. The production design and VFX teams behind the two high-profile series gathered Wednesday morning for a 45-minute conversation at Los Angeles’ Harmony Gold, moderated by The Wrap’s Drew Taylor as part of our inaugural Collaborators series, presented by Netflix. Panelists included “3 Body Problem” production designer Deborah Riley and Scanline VFX supervisor Boris Schmidt, as well as “Avatar: The Last Airbender” executive producer /director/VFX supervisor Jabbar Raisani, VFX supervisor Marion Spates and production designer Michael Wylie, who came together to discuss how they brought their high-concept properties to life. #3bodyproblem #avatarthelastairbender #netflix #thewrapcollaborators See the full story
