Disney Production Designer Brittney Lee On The New Program “Arendelle Castle Yule Log: Cut Paper Edition,” Disney+ & More

Disney Production Designer Brittney Lee has been lending her skills as a visual development artist, art director and production designer to features and short films from Walt Disney Animation Studios since February 2010. Most recently, she was the production designer on the groundbreaking 2019 VR animated short, Myth: A Frozen Tale, which premiered on Disney+ earlier this year. Other recent feature credits as a visual development artist include Encanto, Raya & The Last Dragon and Frozen 2. Lee’s first assignments at the Studio included work on Wreck-It Ralph and the Oscar-winning short Paperman.

Brittney Lee also worked on the unique, hand-crafted Arendelle Castle Yule Log: Cut Paper Edition, which is set to debut on the Disney+ streaming service on Friday, December 17, 2021. The Yule Log is hand-crafted from paper with custom designs by Lee, bringing a festive spirit to the holiday season. Using stylized cut-out art for the fire combined with traditionally drawn and digital visual effects, and Frozen favorites Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven, the scene is set for an inviting and warm holiday gathering, with just a touch of snow provided by Elsa. Fire, lighting and other visual effects complete the picture, bringing holiday magic direct from Arendelle to your living room (or wherever you watch).

On December 16, 2021, I had the pleasure of speaking with Brittney Lee via Zoom, as embedded below. More on Arendelle Castle Yule Log: Cut Paper Edition can be found here, here, here and here.
