Klaus was made by The SPA Studios (Sergio Pablo’s Animation) in Madrid Spain. Netflix brought and released Klaus on the 8th November 2019.

Klaus is a 2D animation that the animator’s made appear 3D.  They did this by using volumetric lighting (this is also called “God Rays”).  Plus by adding texture to the characters.

 The animators also used over 3,000 multiplanes in the background to give the illusion of depth.  They used sharp angles and triangles to show an unfriendly uncomfortable place.  

The animators hand drew the characters in Klaus using digital tablets, the team wanted to go back to basics. They used a process called Harmony by Toon Boom. The Director Sergio Pablo’s acknowledged the modern  computer saying “With drawings the computer needs a certain level of AI.”

(Artificial Intelligence).  They did not use CGI. (Computer Generated Images).  He wanted to create a level of truth behind the fantasy of

Santa Claus. (Klaus).

My little Pony used 2D/3D pipeline employing Toon Boom Harmony and Autodesk Maya.  It also uses flash animation used on Adobe Flash ( the file format and the medium in which the animation is produced).

The film background is in a 2D/3D mixed animation style.  While the characters are also 2D/3D mix.  The pony’s are 2D yet the spaceship is 3D. The 3D environments were built in Maya. The 2D characters were made in Toom Boom harmony.  

The 2017 my little pony movie was made at DHX Studios Vancouver Canada.  It was outsourced to Top Draw Animation in the Philippines.

He was born in Lyon France.  

He is an animator, writer and director.  His feature directional debut was with DreamWorks animation “the Bad Guys”.  (Released on the 31st March 2022 in Australia). 

Bad Guys is a series of children’s books written by Australian Author Aaron Blakey.  DreamWorks did not have to create new characters here or write a new story for this movie .  Therefore it was up to Pierre Perifels ability as an animator and director to be able to breath life into these books and make the bad guys “trying” to be good guys come alive. Which he did.

Pierre Perifels was able to transfer the humour of the books onto the big screen.

The character's timing is down to the director to ensure comedic timing.  He was able to make an audience laugh out loud with the writer's jokes and style. Perifel made  this happen.  Bad Guys took over $230 million American Dollars at the box office this year.  The characters in this movie are animals with human traits. (Anthropomorphic).

 Pierre Perifel moved to the USA in 2008.  His career includes many animated movies: for example Curious George, Monsters vs Aliens, Shrek Forever After,  Kung Fu Panda 2, and Rise of the Guardians.

 Pierre Perifel is also the director of the award-winning short films Bilby and Le Building.  Bilby won the Jury Choice Award at Siggraph in 2018.  (SIGGRAPH:

Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques), North America.  Pierre is married with two children.

AR allows characters to come to life.  The audience can engage with the movie.

The viewer becomes a participant.  They get to swing from building to building along with Peter Parker.  Fans can also go to a web page on their phone and take a picture with spider man.  (Like at a meet and greet).

On Spider-man the animators also completed hand drawn designs.  They used graphic shapes, bold colours, strong writing and easy designs.

The animators wanted to give this movie a cartoon feel.  So they did quick drawings in between fast motions to give it the feeling of motion blur. 

Here is an animator’s trick they used:

(The scene of Peter Parker teaching Miles to swing from trees).

The character Miles is animated on twos: Animated at 12 frames per second (every two frames there is a new drawing).

The character Peter Park is on one’s: Animated at 24 Frames per second (every frame there is a new drawing).

Miles moves 1\2 as much as Peter.

Then Miles goes on ones to make the character more fluid. 

In this animation the animators used Jack Kirby poses to give the characters dynamic motion.  Even though they didn’t have to, because they could move the characters.

(Jack Kirby helped Stan Lee create the original still comics).

It was Snow White that the multiplane camera came into its own and became a dominant means of conveying depth of field and a sensation of motion that stayed well into the 1990's(Lamarre, 2009) .
