Caro chose charcoal for the illustrations to connect with the savage, dirty, ephemeral core of the story and found two UK-based stars to play the two lead characters: Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Notting Hill, Da Vinci’s Demons) and Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings, The Adventures of Tintin, Rise of the Planet of the Apes).

“The idea came to me after a dream of a lion. The first frame I drew was a lion hugging a child. And I did a bit research around these animals and their particular capability of hugging. They can be extremely savage and able to show tenderness at the same time.”

Slash: “I have always been a huge horror fan, and creating films that take you back to the days where horror movies actually scared the hell out of you is something I have always wanted to do.”

Creating high level motion graphics for broadcast in today’s world of tighter budgets and shorter deadlines means artists must take advantage of every time saving tool at their disposal. Rigid body physics-based dynamics software is one of those tools when understood and applied effectively can mean the difference between profit and loss on a project. In this class we examine the use of Cinema 4D’s built-in mograph module with its rigid body dynamics engine. You will learn how this powerful tool was crucial in creating animations for three real-world projects and how you can apply these workflows to your own productions.

With motion design credits on some of television’s highest rated shows, Dave Glanz is one of the “most viewed” broadcast designers in the industry. A PromaxBDA award-winning motion graphics designer with over 10 years of experience, Dave works with a diverse range of clients including Discovery Channel, Nat Geo, History, PBS, Arm & Hammer, and the American Film Institute on projects like Mythbusters, Sharkweek, Storm Chasers, Deadliest Catch and Modern Marvels.

The superb performance from this CG chimp, very effectively pushes forward both PETA’s goal to remove real great apes from TV and film production and the state CG creatures in commercials.
