In 2007, George Miller’s Happy Feet won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.It was a major turning point for Animal Logic, as the film’s feature animation was created in the Sydney studio. Since that time, the studio has become one of the premiere animation production companies, while also continuing to advance the art of visual effects.
Just some of the animated features by Animal Logic, or features where character animation has been a principal part, include Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole, Walking With Dinosaurs 3D, The LEGO Movie franchise and Peter Rabbit, along with its upcoming sequel.
This series so far at 3D World has looked at the art, story and tech side of bringing a couple of those films to life. Now in our third instalment this issue, we explore how the layout and animation departments contribute to making movie magic.
