The Lion King

July 24, 2019 by kwakualston

I am extremely proud to have worked on the international Lion King publicity campaign for Disney.  From NYC to LA, with the help of some incredible VFX digital gurus at MPC_Film, we executed Disney creative head lion, Alex Kang’s concept to create portraits of the voice actors facing their characters.
