Some people live in winter the whole time, so we wanted to capture that correctly." For us, winter is not a season it's a place. And we really didn't want this to be Christmas-y. "John Lasseter really encourages us to do a lot of research," notes Peggy Holmes. And so we talked through that and made sure that the team understood that a nice, fresh snowfall has to have a sparkle to it to be true to life." Even when it looks white, it has sparkles from individual crystals of the surface, sparkles of red and green and blue.
"Despite everybody's mental vision that snow is white-it actually has many, many colours. "Getting snow right is not easy," Thomas H. The filmmakers were adamant that even the snow animation had to be realistic. With their newfound understanding of the effects snow and ice have on vegetation and physical structures, the team had an opportunity to present the Winter Woods in a fresh and scientifically grounded way.

Painter's direction, including a series of lectures about thermal conductivity and thermodynamics, the filmmakers were able to retool the script for accuracy. "The way the snowstorm was originally set up, and the way the fairies responded to it, was technically troublesome," Dr. "And remote sensing means that, as a scientist, I use satellite data and airborne data to look at the Earth to explore the properties of snow." "'Snow hydrologist' means that I study how snow and snowmelts affect the Earth's water cycle," Dr. Painter, now a scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/Caltech and a research professor at UCLA, is one of the most highly regarded experts in snow hydrology, radiative impacts of light-absorbing impurities on snow and glacier melt, multispectral remote sensing and imaging spectroscopy, and solar system astrobiology. in geography and a NASA grant in "Astrobiology of Icy Worlds: Habitability, Survivability and Detectability." Painter in particular, whose impressive academic and scientific achievements include a Ph.D. Her search led to the Atmospheric Sciences Department at the University of Utah and Dr. With this high level of authenticity as her goal, director Peggy Holmes looked for an expert. When the "Secret of the Wings" filmmakers began creating the snow-covered Winter Woods where Periwinkle and the winter fairies live, they wanted to accurately portray the world of perpetual cold.
