Our talented team of VAD Artists had a blast working on the Disney limited series, Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022). Our team worked as an extension of the Art Department empowering the Production Designer, Set Designers, Set Decorators, and Cinematographers with Virtual Production workflows. Alongside industry leaders such as Director Debora Chow, Production Designers, Todd Cherniawsky and Doug Chiang,  DP Chung-hoon Chung, and ILM, we created 14 hero environments over the span of 7 months.

“My experience with Narwhal was everything I wanted and more. I had an incredible team where nothing had to go through a traditional art department/VAD filter. Instead, it was pure and seamless. They're also great at creating a transparent remote collaboration workflow with excellent quality control.”
-Todd Cherniawsky, Production Designer, ADG (Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Polar Express).
