Naturally Juicy
Mill 3D, led by CGI and Animation supervisor Juan Brockhaus, mapped motion capture data, roughed 3D models and established the timing. You have to admire anyone who can translate human dance moves into those of a ten-foot-tall giraffe or a chorus line of bi-pedal zebras. Details such as fingers and facial expressions were hand-animated, including some major re-animation of the humanised animals.

A tight deadline required some technical hoop-jumping: Mill animators began with unfinished rigs, changed models as they went, while animating over the motion capture. They seamlessly composited CG elements, atmospheric effects and live action. On using the up-to-date motion-captured animatic, compositing supervisor Darren Christie says: "On set we used mix and overlay, superimposing animation with live action to get what we needed."
