Alfonso Cuarón: Directing the Invisible Art | Framestore

 

Wonderful to hear Alfonso Cuarón's thoughts on animation and the important role animators play in creating appealing, believable performances. It's our job and privilege to breathe life into characters so that they can convincingly live and perform on their own on the screen. It's nice to see some of my shots from Gravity in this reel as well. It is by far the most challenging film I've ever worked on but also one that I'm exceedingly proud of. We had a massively talented crew working on that film at Framestore, and the opportunity to collaborate with such a renowned visionary director as Alfonso was remarkable.

GRAVITY: Alfonso Cuaron Sandra Bullock Comic Con 2013

I'm pumped that Gravity was received well at Comic Con over the weekend! And for the record there's no motion capture in the film. The production didn't use the 'Vomit Comet' and it's completely animated except for the facial performances. It's the most complex film I've worked on yet.
