Title:
- The Role of Hand-Drawn Animation in Disney’s Moana
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
The art direction of Moana called for the use of hand-drawn animation to be intimately mixed with the primarily CG film. This direction pushed us to develop new workflows in order to not only achieve the very specific look but also allow for the direct interaction between the various CG and hand-drawn elements. Exploring these workflows has further bridged the gap between hand-drawn animation and CG animation, opening the way for continued exploration into hybrid animation.
