Imagineering Update : WDW Little Mermaid Load Area Mural Painting

Here is a new Imagineering video released by WDI showing how the Little Mermaid Imagineers did to paint the huge mural painting which will be placed at the load-unload area of the attraction, the one you can see on the rendering below.



This is not the first time that WDI Imagineers create such a giant ural painting, they did it many time before, whether it was for some of Epcot original attractions or for the Grand Canyon Diorama at DL and DLP. But this video shows how WDI Imagineers "created an experimental process using digital technology to design the mural, and then used portable tablets ( Translate: iPads ) to guide them in the artistic process when it came time to put paint on canvas".
