What do you do if you're a famous live-action director and you need to "film" animated characters in a virtual world for your next big film? For Gore Verbinski, the answer was obvious: Turn to the wizards at Industrial Light & Magic. Watch the latest behind-the-scenes video of the Rango virtual set.
We speak to Kouji Tajima, an internship winner in the 2011 Computer Graphics Student Awards. Kouji explains his workflow, his inspirations, and how he creates his amazing works of art.
What does it take for an individual to oversee Pixar, Disney Animation, Disney theme parks, and direct Cars 2? Given that many of us would have a hard time managing just one of these tasks, the incredibly busy John Lasseter needs a regimented schedule in his life to accomplish all of the above. Walt Disney Studios has released a video detailing one day in the life of the director, and we can safely say that he does more than we can knock out in a week! Check out the 25-minute documentary below for the closest look at the life of John Lasseter that we have seen yet.
MPC has shared another great VFX Breakdown of their involvement with The Chronicles of Narnia - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Congratulations on the great work guys!
MPC’s main challenge was to create some of the key characters for the film. MPC’s team of animators once again performed the role of Reepicheep the mouse, voiced by Simon Pegg. Reepicheep – a courageous knight of Narnia - accompanies Caspian on his voyage in the hope of finding Aslan's Country at the end of the world. To make sure Reepicheep’s sword skills were unrivalled, MPC’s Animators took fencing classes to learn the moves and tricks of the trade. With over 200 hero shots, Reepicheep was upgraded to take the spotlight. MPC's art department designed subtle changes for a wiser and more mature Reepicheep. MPC’s Furtility was once again the grooming tool of choice.
