Description:
The challenge for Rhythm & Hues Studios in “Babe” was to give animals realistic human emotions. we took the original photography and then used a sophisticated tracking process so that we could match the animal’s movements to the dialogue, remove the original, live action animal’s jaw, create the necessary facial animation and then do the final composite.
