The Gruffalo YouTube Trailer

The Gruffalo was created by Studio Soi and Magic Light Pictures for the BBC. The short 30 minute animated film combines both CGI and Stop-Motion techniques to create a stylistic look which is faithful to the original book

Here’s a great interview with Axel Scheffler as he talks through his initial Gruffalo book illustrations.

If you don’t manage to catch it on Christmas Day, the DVD is available now.

The latest ‘art of’ book entitled The Art of Monsters vs Aliens is now availiable. Includes, not only concept art and production sketches, but also making of development CG wireframes, renders and models, which are sadly lacking from the Art of Pixar books.

The ‘Art of’ series of Pixar books should be on every 3D Artists/Animators bookshelf.

Many examples of pre-production sketches, maquette sculpts, animation thumbnails, digital paintings and digital renders are included. The book also contains development insights from some of the artists and animators at Pixar.
