Monster House Trailer Released
Sony has just released the Monster House Trailer, which has me bouncing off the walls with excitement. Why, you ask? Monster House happens to be the film that I got to work on as an intern at Sony Imageworks two summers ago.
The film is directed by Hollywood newcomer Gil Kenan, and produced by Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis. It utilizes the same “performance capture” technology as Polar Express, but the movement is a little more natural. For one thing, they did have kids act out the kids roles so there is none of that scaling down Tom Hanks business, plus I beleive the animations have more freedom
I saw the animatic for this film in the early stages of production, and the familiarity of the trailer amazes me. I guess that goes to show how much planning goes into a CG film. Anyway, I highly encourage everyone to see the movie when it comes out. If you subscribe to my blog, you can count on me to give you regular reminders!
