Fan Fest Nights 2025, 2026

Overview

Fan Fest Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood is a seasonal entertainment event built around immersive experiences, character moments, scenic environments, and special effects inspired by fan-favorite worlds.

Challenge

The event brings recognizable worlds to life on a compressed seasonal production schedule, requiring practical show moments, animated figures, and effects approaches that support story, tone, guest flow, and operational reliability.

My Contribution

My work focuses on special effects and animation leadership, helping guide creative and technical decisions so practical effects, animated figures, and show systems feel theatrical, believable, and integrated with the guest experience.

Across the event, I help translate creative intent into effects strategies that can be developed, installed, maintained, and performed consistently within a seasonal production model.
