Abstract:
“Wish” pays homage to a century of Disney Animation’s legacy and the look of its characters is inspired by the watercolor storybook style of some of our earlier Disney classics, including “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, “Pinocchio”, and “Sleeping Beauty”. Careful attention to detail in appearance, graphic shading, and streamlined geometric shapes of models, clothing and grooms, provide the foundation of the unique stylized look and art-directed character performance. A final procedural compositing treatment is applied in lighting to produce the more painterly watercolor style combined with hand-drawn influenced linework. Modifications were required in all of the asset departments’ workflows to support this overall stylization.
