The Art of Doug Chiang

Doug Chiang will join David Collins on the Digital Stage to discuss his incredible career, both inside and outside the Star Wars saga. Chiang was already an Academy Award-winning art director and the creative director at ILM when he was selected by George Lucas to serve as the design director for Episode I, leading the team of talented artists to establish a unique visual aesthetic that would define the glorious pre-Imperial era of the Star Wars galaxy. Chiang’s detailed designs perfectly balance the impact of strong lines and clear silhouettes with the intricate complexities required to create believable, iconic imagery for a new generation of Star Wars fans.
