Prince of the Himalayas

Feature film

Chinese Hamlet story shot in Sichuan. CG animals and fx.

VFX Supervisor

the Premise

The challenge of supervising all effects for the film with an existing team, their first feature.

Production

Fortunately for me we had a few skilled people, the production manager and a character animator. The rest of the team was fairly inexperienced. Towards the end of the schedule the experienced animator moved to Australia and I couldn't get any more work out of her.

One of the most difficult things you can do in a film is accurately depict a real animal next to and interacting with humans. In recent years this has become more commonplace in big films, but this was over 10 years ago, with a small inexperienced team. Given the challenge of these shots I think we did quite well.
