Making-of
Characters
We knew our characters where going to be the centre of the story. So we wanted them to be really unique and different from each other not only in design but also in personality. That's why we worked with really different shapes, sizes and also tried to identify each of them with a color. The uniform helped to unify them as a team despite their differences.
Animation
Through the animation of the trailer we achieved that exaggerated and cartoony look to the characters. Having them make really extreme poses with lots of squashing and stretching. We also had to be careful that through all the action and exaggeration the shots were still readeable since the majority of them were extremely short.
Fx
Being most of the trailer set in a factory we had to work on a variety of fx, mainly fluids and jellies. We also did some pyro simulations in Houdini to create the explosions that appear in some of the shots.
Lighting & Compositing
This two "departments" worked hand in hand to bring all the project together. We had to work carefully with colors in order to get that saturated and colorful look while making sure they didn't clash. In compositing we also made the characters come out of the frame in some of the shots to both accentuate the animation and the cartoony style.
We are really proud and happy of the outcome of our project and we hope you enjoyed this small insight into Captain Kit's world!
