In the production team of "Chicken Little", Yimon Butler served as the animation director. In this regard, Yimon Butler said that before the filming of the film, only 50% of the technical staff in the Disney animation department were engaged in CG technical work, so he and the production team must have the remaining 50% technical staff Also master related technologies. As a result, an 18-month training program began. During this 8-step special training period, all laboratories and related departments are open 24 hours a day, and the production staff are teaching every day, and the final pass rate is nearly hundred percent.
In order to make the film reflect the innocent childishness, director Dingdal read many children's books and children's paintings. Inspired by him, the graphic designer of "Chicken Little" created lovely screen images. When making the protagonist of the film Madd, a total of 76,000 individual virtual feathers were used on the computer. In order to better express facial expressions, 55,000 of them were used on the head and each wing. 9,000 feathers were used, and all feathers must be divided into several categories according to the real situation, including traditional long feathers and fine hairs that are close to the skin.
In the computer production process, all CG images are composed of many polygons, and each action of these images is the result of the joint movement of many polygons. The body of the protagonist chicken is composed of 5,636 polygons, and the duck Abby in the film contains 12,781, half of which is used in her hair. The computer animator designs the muscles of the protagonist chicken and simulates their movement trajectory through a program. At the same time, in order to express the movements of the tail and combs, computer animators added some muscles specifically for performances.
In the small town described in the film, there are many kinds of trees dotted in the middle of the beautiful scenery. The production process is quite complicated, because each tree has 15,000 to 20,000 leaves. Although the staff uses the same software as the feathers, it still consumes a lot of time and energy
