Title:

    Kung Fu Panda 3: Mandarin Lip-sync Reanimation Process and Pipeline

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    For Kung Fu Panda 3 we produced an alternate version reanimated with Mandarin dialog, the first of its kind. This presented unique production challenges for both DreamWorks Animation (DWA) and Oriental DreamWorks (ODW), as each has their own pipeline and toolset. With the goal of achieving the same quality level across both versions within budget and schedule, workflows and tools were developed to effectively track, transfer and unpack the necessary data between sites.
