This is the first one I wanted to post and it shows the process that I go through on a shot like this. I use 2d animated rough tests a lot in my workflow , specially for a broad cartoony shot like this one. I wanted also to show how the 2d sketch translates into the CG character , and the fact that I don“t copy 100% the 2d into the CG , I just use it as a reference and starting point. Later, I hide it and concentrate on polishing and refining the CG animation.“ I would like to credit the talented people responsible for making this shot look the way it does in the final movie: Voice acting of Kristoff: Jonathan Groff Story Boards: Fawn Veerasunthorn Animation supervisor : Lino Disalvo Directors: Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee Sven“s rig: David Suroviec Kristoff“s rig: Nicklas Puetz Tech Anim :Corey Bolwyn FX: Mike Navarro Lighting: Benjamin Huang Music Score: Christophe Beck And of course, I want to thank the amazing Mitja Rabar for his role as Sven during the live action reference !!
