SGT. STUBBY: THE MAKING OF A HERO takes you behind-the-scenes of #StubbyMovie to discover what goes into making a feature-length CGI animated film! http://www.facebook.com/StubbyMovie

The road to animation begins with a series of individual 2D sketches of the screenplay (see Episode 02, "Stubby's Storyboards": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf_EA3p3AvM). The next step is to interpret those flat drawings in three dimensions, laying out all of the film's action in a simulated 3D environment.

Meet layout artist Kelly Ginet as she explains the "previs" process – short for "previsualization" – which gives us our first look at SGT. STUBBY's characters in motion.

This initial rough draft in CGI gives us a chance to adjust character positions in the frame (called "blocking") and make decisions on simulated camera angles, lenses, and movement. A good previs product gives our animators a guide to follow when creating fully articulated characters and sets for the final film.
