“Despicable Me” Computer Animated Character

I am really interested in 3-D computer animation used in film making. “Despicable Me,” distributed by Universal Pictures, was animated by a French animation studio-Mac Guff. Characters in the movie has smooth motions and lively facial expressions. What I admire the most is that the producers give every minion its own personality and characteristics. Minions not only have various body feature, such as height, eyes, and hair, but also have different expressions. The process from the first sketch of the minions to story-boarding, layouts, animation, and final production is complex and appealing.
