The Making of Netflix’s “Blue Eye Samurai”

Join us for an exciting event showcasing the making of Blue Eye Samurai! We will delve into the production design, character design, and creative process that made the animated Netflix series such an immersive and engaging experience. Set in Edo-period Japan, Blue Eye Samurai follows Mizu (voiced by Maya Erskine), a mixed-race master of the sword who lives a life in disguise seeking the deliverance of revenge. This provocative and visually stunning cinematic series immerses the viewer in a world of vivid adult animation with a live-action edge. We are honored to welcome Jane Wu (Producer and Supervising Director), Toby Wilson (Production Designer), Emil Mitev (Art Director), Brian Kesinger (Character Lead), and James Wood Wilson (Art Director) as they discuss the fusion of artistry and storytelling that brought this captivating series to life. Our talented panel also breaks down their 2D/3D hybrid animation approach, how they managed the vivid worldbuilding, and the benefits of using animation to tell complicated stories.
