A journey of a billion frames begins with talent, characters and a whole lot of effort by the team at DreamWorks.
A wash with color and technical complexities, DreamWorks brings us their next animated film, Kung Fu Panda. In production since 2003, the film introduces a cast of clothed and furry or feathery animals that never completely sit still, languishing, dreaming, learning, and battling throughout a collection of expansive environments.
The script contained everything DreamWorks had done before, magnified, to the point of when the head of production handed the script to VFX Supervisor Markus Manninen, she laughed and wished him “good luck”. “When we started talking,” said Manninen, “the movie was still a high concept. But for everyone that looked at it, it screamed complexity. We launched off saying, how can you make this movie tangible? How can you find smart ways to bring this world to life in a way that makes it a great movie and not feel like the complexity becomes the driver of the story, but the story and the emotion being the driver?”
