The Disney+ film Peter Pan & Wendy, directed by David Lowery, has a character named Tinkerbell, a complete CG character but enhanced with the performance of Yara Shahidi. In the podcast Before & Afters, we learn that character creation requires 4D scans, a solver step, and photogrammetry scans.
The animation artistry and proprietary software of Framestore are discussed in detail. The actor, Yara Shahidi, has added her zeal to the character; however, the whole of the character Tinkerbell is a CG character.
The head of Creatures, Pierre-Loic Hamon, and Nicolas Chevallier, the VFX supe of Framestone, discussed the digital double workflow. They were involved in creating the character Tinkerbell because it required the dynamic XYZ’s toolset.
In the process, the animation artistry was involved. The Framestore is known for its animation artistry concerning character development. Kitsu has sponsored the episode of the podcast from CGWire. Regarding VFX productions, Kitsu as a brand has always had a collaborative mantra.
They believe in communication only when all the teams are in the same room! This means they support collaboration, involvement, and inclusion in work and deliver on their responsibilities.
It is due to the expectation that producers can do reports, collect deliveries, and dispatch tasks together without worrying about misconceptions or miscommunication. Whenever there is a project under Kitsu as a brand, you bet there will be effective performance and quality visuals.
The movie’s director has gone through different preview versions so that he can understand the gap and relate it to the design team. The CG team has also received complete feedback, working to create better pictures and audio, and the whole project running seamlessly.
The full potential of Kitsu can be learned from how the studio handles the development of the CG characters along with other animated characters in the movie. You have to watch the movie to believe the art of creating Tinkerbell!
