Framestore will explore the visual effects of Project Hail Mary at MCM London Comic Con on Saturday, October 24. The studio lists its panel for 5pm on the Creator Stage, with VFX supervisor Stuart Penn, animation supervisor Daniel Blacker and compositing supervisor Jonni Isaacs. The session will cover the Hail Mary
spacecraft and Rocky, the alien character whose digital performance had to work alongside a physical puppet. Framestore says the team helped develop sets and shots with the production designer and cinematographer before sets were built, giving attendees a look at how visual effects contributed during planning as well
as post-production. Rocky presented a particular animation challenge: communicating personality through a character without facial features. The panel offers a chance to hear from the artists working across effects supervision, animation and compositing about bringing that performance into the finished film. MCM London
runs October 23–25 at ExCeL London. The Saturday panel time is 5pm BST, equivalent to 4pm UTC; Britain changes to GMT the following day. Check the organiser’s current schedule and admission information before travelling. Framestore’s listing does not announce an online broadcast or replay. Official panel information,
