Sony and Universal

This morning we headed out early for Universal Studios. When we first crossed the gate we immediately see the iconic turning Universal Globe. We started taking pictures but started to notice that a man was using a Steady-cam, and behind him we realized that there was a hot set going on right in front of us.  Afterwords we went on the backlot tour and were able to see sets from a bunch of different movies and television shows like Psycho, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Good Place, and much more! Afterwards we were able to fit in a couple of additional rides like the Mummy and Jurassic Park. We didn't do too many rides however, because we were on a mission to get to Sony Animation! With Sony Animation they showed us some amazing story boards done for Hotel Transylvania and Spiderman Into the Spiderverse. Watching the storyboard artist visualize a scene that translates to the final product is something really special. Not only this but we were also able to see the animators at work and watch a scene from Hotel Transylvania 3 completed from first concept to final product.
