spongebob irl requires tremendous effort!

SpongeBob SquarePants is an old and famous character that many people have come to love over the years so once again making his place on the big screen is another joyful occasion that many people looked forward to.
this article took the time to cover the very difficult and very meticulous different techniques that were used in order to bring spongebob to the real world.this was done using several different techniques the first of which or one of them was to give the characters an exceedingly overwhelming level of detail at least when the camera was up close for example using cross hatching techniques and the socks and giving slight bumps to both SpongeBob and Patrick skin however when they both happen to fade into a distance or into the background they would lose several layers of detail becoming smooth and blending in more naturally.when working with the actors in the live action scenes several props and people in different outfits were used to help locate where the characters would be on the screen for the different actors for example with planktons hate being much taller than usual once they become super heroes the article explains that a wooden plank was used deltato help actors locate where he would be located on screendelta actors locate where he would be located on screen.this work is very tedious especially for the animators and the people who were dragged in create the different 3d models that were used to represent spongebob Patrick and his friends but in the end it paid off having raked in more in box office then described 50 shades of grey why the article chose to reference 50 shades of grey when speaking of a children's movie I would never guess.
this article really did help give me a sense of how working on a movie would actually work involving the animation process it as well as modeling and rigging hopefully this will help to give me an idea of what to look for and what to expect when working on a very difficult project.
