Production
The film came with a lot of challenges to make. Telling the story of a real person and trying to capture a chapter from her experience was a tall order, but we also had the technical challenge of achieving a sketchy 2D/3D hybrid style.
We used Unreal Engine for it's real-time rendering capabilities to iterate faster and experiment with new tools and techniques. Epic Games heard what we were working on and came over to the studio to film some behind the scenes and find out a bit about the process. Check it out below.
