Four talking animals on a great adventure. What sounds simple can bring filmmakers joy and pain in equal measure. exozet effects shows the creation of the visual effects from the first storyboard image through compositing of the digital models.

In addition to production insights, the underlying facial-animation model in Softimage is presented. Topics such as hair, HDR lighting and rendering with mental ray are also discussed in detail, and conclusions are drawn for future productions.

exozet effects has its production studios centrally located in the fx.Center at Studio Babelsberg. Every film-production step can be carried out here together with our partner companies. Our customers are film-production companies, advertising agencies, and industrial and media companies.
