Explore the 3D animation breakdown and shot progression for DreamWorks' short film "Puss in Boots: The Trident"! 🗡️✨
In this breakdown, DreamWorks Animator Nicolas Prothais shares key technical insights on animating the short film, experimenting with stepped animation over a fluid camera, and managing camera space workflows.
🎬 Animator Notes (by Nicolas Prothais):
• "I joined DreamWorks right at the end of Puss in Boots. I got the chance to animate the short film 'Puss in Boots: The Trident'."
• "It was my first time experimenting with stepped animation over a fluid camera—a very interesting challenge."
• "The entire animation had to be done in camera space to avoid a strobing effect."
• "The transition between stepped and fluid animation was decided by the animation director using a non-destructive, editable process."
