Go behind the scenes of Zack Snyder's WATCHMEN as part of the extended Computer Animation Festival panel discussions at SIGGRAPH.

The panel explores the making of Dr. Manhattan, the all-powerful, all-CG blue man, the inkblot-stained mask of Rorschach, the 3D environments and CG Owlship and the CG enhancements for the bravura opening title sequence, which intricately sets up the history of the masked superheroes.
