Quasimodo Sanctuary

  • So here's a pencil test of the sanctuary shot from Hunchback of Notre Dame. The background of the cathedral was animated first by Mike Merell in 3D. Then that wireframe footage was printed out onto paper frame by frame. I then animated the characters over the top on paper. This is before the final sound mix obviously, and if you listen you can clearly hear Gary Trousdale, one of the film's directors, yelling "Ahh, you can't get her now Frollo!"

      Yes. They literally did not understand what CG was, and instead programmed a computer to draw, or so the story goes.
      It's amazing how in a short time span, Disney went from one now painfully noticeable CG background in Mermaid to masterfully executed backgrounds in Hunchback and Beauty and the Beast.

    Hey James! I wanted to ask, but for specific scenes like these, how much of your process is done just by eyeballing the positioning and scaling, and how much shift-n-trace do you use? Ive recently been attempting to animate 2d characters on top of a 3d camera pan and I always have trouble with keeping my volumes consistent as the camera rotates or moves towards and away from the character. What are your thoughts when approaching a scene like this?
