In Heavenly Vessel, we embarked on an unorthodox journey to create the planet. Here's a fun fact for you: we used a method harking back to old-school SFX filmmaking, where we mixed milk, coffee, and a touch of paint to craft the planet's surface. By filming this concoction, we achieved the illusion of depth in the planet's atmosphere, giving it a rich and organic feel. This same method was employed to create the patterns in the background of the first and last shots, respectively. What proved particularly challenging for the compositing team was depicting the visual representation of the planet's magnetic pull, which beckons all living things into its embrace. Initially, the strands didn't quite feel right, resembling a post-effect rather than something natural. Our primary objective was to make the planet appear as though it was distorting light, akin to a captivating black hole. However, with dedication and a touch of love, it all came together beautifully. Storyboard: Lou V.

Technical difficult animation. Thank you for all the love you guys have given us, Venla, and the film since it’s been released. It means a lot. We wanted to share some of the making-of process for the animation, so we can celebrate the incredible crew who put their heart and soul into this film. Starting with this stunning sequence of shots. Spoiler alert if you haven't seen the film yet! These specific scenes mark the culmination of the prince's transformation, representing an important moment in the film. They emerge from an almost cocoon-like beginning, symbolising their rebirth The drawings, animation, and clean up are so, so beautiful in these shots we’d probably have to say it's the most technical and time-consuming work we’ve ever done. But as you can see from the results, it was totally worth it. Please check the credits below. We’ll be posting more behind-the-scenes stuff for the project. But if you wish to see more right now, the digital art book of the film is available. Please follow the link in our bio Storyboard: Lou V.

We're thrilled to announce the release of our latest short film, Heavenly Vessel, which explores the fear of transformation and change. What's particularly exciting about this project is that it marks the directorial debut of Venla, who was the 2nd person we hired when we started our studio. Seeing her growth as an artist and leader has been amazing and we're proud to see her at the helm of this film. Heavenly Vessel is also the first short to come out of our development department, headed up by Lisa Smith. The Short features some of the most detailed animation we've ever done. We're incredibly proud of the team who brought it to life. We'd like to give a special shout-out to Amanda, who led the animation team, Juancho for the incredible art direction, Clarisse for leading the way on compositing, Kača for her excellent production work, and Michaela, who stepped into the role of Production Manager for the first time and ran a tight ship. We're also extremely proud to have collaborated with Emily Hopkins. Emily is an incredible musician and harpist. We love how experimental she is with such a classical instrument like the harp, creating musical compositions that are mesmerising, beautiful and haunting. Emily’s work on this film is truly stunning. She worked with her partner Russ and they were a dream to collaborate with. We love you guys! we had a mega team working on this project, and we're immensely grateful for everyone's hard work and dedication. If you enjoy the film, please leave a comment to congratulate Venla on her stunning directorial debut! A digital art book of Heavenly Vessel is available. It's full of animation sequences, storyboards, character designs, model sheets, background art.

We love this sequence of shots. They have a really cool mix of complex motorbike animation (all key animated btw 💅) Big shout to Mourad Seddik, who turned out some brilliant bike animation on this project! Quick cuts, cool FX and lols. Surprisingly, the part that we struggled with most in this sequence was the ground plane in the first shot. The idea was to make it feel like the camera is level with the ground, whilst also creating the illusion of a camera rotation. So we hand painted the floor plane with speedlines and animated it moving in the opposite direction to the background environment - cheating it to make it work. If you look closely at each stage of the breakdown, the floor plane in the shot changes. It’s because those are some of the failed attempts to get it right. We got there in the end 😅 Client: Marvel Entertainment Storyboard: Kevin Molina-Ortiz Background Layout: Daniel Converio, Ajey Sadashiv Lele, César Chevalier Layout Camera: Freddie Lewis-Wall, Skye van der Walt, Isabel Howlett Backgrounds: Bruno Mayor, César Chevalier, Jeffri Honesta, Lorenzo Natale Character Layout: Venla Linna, Simone Cirillo, Marta Andreeva Animation: Mourad Seddiki, Marcel Tigchelaar, Alain Vu, Simone Cirillo FX Animation: Erwin Rieffel, Jamie Merry, Paul Bouchart Animation Assistant: Eleonora Quario, Jessica Teare Clean-up & Colour: Eleonora Quario, AMIX 3D Animation: Théo Nardi Comp: Nick Herbert, Gabrielle Locre, Zeki Doru Ondun
We didn’t do much camera projection in this film. But this is one really cool example of it. Camera projection is when you project an image, or in this case a painting with an animated element, onto 3d geometry, using the virtual camera like a projector. It’s a really cool technique to be able to give a camera a little bit of depth.

"We had such a blast creating the Great British Bake Off 2023 promo, we put together a behind-the-scenes film to give you a glimpse of how much fun it was to work on.

From storyboarding and design to rolling eggs on the streets and parks of London, all the way into the actual Bake Off tent!

We also wanted to celebrate the incredible team that made all this possible. You all are the best, and it was such a lovely collaborative experience with each of you.

Thanks again to the team over at @4creativec4
for inviting us to be a part of this project. 🙏

The music for this project was composed by the talented Jacob Matthess, who was also one of the animators 🎶✏️

This is a really cool & dynamic sequence featuring Squirrel Girl, Ghost Rider & Devil Dinosaur. It’s particularly fun because we play with the scale of Devil Dinosaur to make the action feel more epic. You can definitely feel the FLCL inspiration in this sequence.

In the first couple of shots, as Squirrel Girl jumps onto Devil Dinosaur’s back and begins running up it, that part of his back is like a never ending ground plane, adding to the feeling of how enormous he is.

The backgrounds in this shot are really interesting. For a start, they’re huuuuge. This is because we needed to move the camera around them to create different camera moves. The Machine World move creates the illusion of spinning, while the Subterranea backgrounds depict a rotation and a change in perspective, giving the illusion of the camera hurtling through the caves of the subterranean world.

We’re thrilled to have teamed up with 4Creative for the Great British Bake Off’s 2023 teaser trailer. It’s not everyday you get invited into the hallowed GBBO tent, so as you can imagine, we totally geeked out. It’s fair to say, we’re all huuuge fans of the show in the studio with a couple of pretty decent bakers in the house. So it was the icing on the cake to whip up this film and finally have a project that our parents care about 😅 Props to 4Creative for having such a charming, sweet idea. We had a lot of fun injecting humour into the ingredients' epic journey, and it was a dream working with you all. Shout out to JuanPe, who was the head chef on this showstopper. And shout out to the whole crew on this one, everyone did such an amazing job. Hollywood handshakes all round.

We literally kicked this project off with a bang! And because this sequence has a bit of everything in it, we wanted to share an animation breakdown. Fx animation, character animation, vehicle animation, animated background elements and ground plane, background parallaxing and comp camera moves. It’s quite a complex tapestry, weaving all of these elements together, but our team did it beautifully. Made in collaboration with Marvel Entertainment, Nuverse and Second Dinner.

We are thrilled to present this brand-new film for MARVEL SNAP! We had an amazing time creating the previous film with Marvel Entertainment, Nuverse, and Second Dinner. So when we were asked to make an action-packed film to promote the new desktop edition of MARVEL SNAP, it was a no brainer. Our only question was, "How action-packed are we talking?" We were told, "Go big, or go home!" So, strap in tight because this film is a real face melter! We want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible team behind this project. To create a film like this, you need a team of superstars and, no joke, that's exactly what we had on this project. Please make sure to check out the credits! Once again, we'd like to express our gratitude to our creative partners: Marvel Entertainment, Nuverse, and Second Dinner. You all are the best! We had a blast working on this project with all of you.

We aimed to go old school with our approach to character colors, drawing inspiration from cinematic masterpieces like Akira and beloved Ghibli classics. Our goal was to create character palettes that seamlessly blended with their respective environments. Leading this creative effort was Agathe Leroux, our esteemed Art Director, who painstakingly ensured that every hue of the characters harmonized perfectly with the environments. Igor Piwowarczuk's exquisite paintings added depth to the backgrounds, enhancing this undertaking. Storyboards by the legendary Jonathan Djob Nkondo Client: @Azuki Storyboard: Jonathan Djob Nkondo, Olivier Lescot Background Layout: Agathe Leroux Background: Igor Piwowarczuk, Agathe Leroux
Kevin's initial storyboards were a pleasure to work with. They provided the compositing department with a wealth of information and inspiration. Throughout production, it was crucial that we worked closely with the compositing department to enhance everything we loved from the storyboards. The compositing team was involved early on to determine camera moves based on the animatic. This defined the size of the background layouts, which subsequently informed the dimensions of our final background paintings. This approach ensured that when we reintegrated all the final artwork into the final comp, it all fits together seamlessly. We didn’t want this project to feel over-comped. It was important for the art direction that the characters and the background paintings didn’t feel overprocessed. Instead, we focused the compositing efforts on the FX animation. Ensuring all the elements controlled by the characters felt as cool and exciting as possible.

In this the part of the film, we really want to showcase our Heroes' capabilities. It was important for the water girl's hype moment to be in direct contrast to her opening scene, where it begins with a calm tai-chi like movement. When we first meet her, she's very playful and even a little bit clumsy, accidentally drenching our White Rabbit. However, with this encounter, we discover her true power as she summons a tidal wave with a few gestures. Olivier, our FX guru, came up with creative solutions for larger-than-life effects, enabling us to carry out our vision and giving the wave a sense of scale and power. Character animators, Daniel Cuervo & Bishoy Gendi, were able to add lots of personality to our characters in the short time they're on screen. Once again building on a solid foundation of Kevin Molina-Ortiz's storyboards. We're ecstatic about how this scene turned out.
