Wake up babe, @gwruk BTS and interviews with adam&eveDDBās Group Executive Creative Director @bentollett and Director @peterbaynton just dropped š
In this short, we delve into how āThe Famous Fiveās Thrilling Engagementā came into being from concept to creation with insights from Peter and Ben, alongside revealing a bit of the process involved in creating the filmās unique blend of 2D and 3D animation, providing the expansive world-building of 3D combined with the beautiful charm of hand-drawn 2D animation.
Watch closely for an additional animation pass, implemented to imbue the characters with as much of the original illustrations by Eileen Soperās magic as possible. The final black ink-style outline emphasising form and outfit details is distinctive, nostalgic and classic, if we do say so ourselves.
Thanks to @_meltmeltmelt_ for their Herculean team efforts bringing the 3D, compositing and grade (as well as several BTS shots) to life.

My bro Robin was the Supervising Vocal Editor & Mixer on Wicked Part I. I watched it last week and was blown away by it. The filmās gorgeous, and the vocals are exquisite; crystal clear, seamless with the dialogue, and beautifully mixed. So proud of Robin! (here with his beautiful wife @alexmickle )
And then a fun surprise at Universalās offices in London the other day - a huge wall print of Wicked right next to one ofā¦ā¦ our movie!! @fieldingruth took a pic š
