In Dawn of the Croods we get to see how life was like for the Croods' in Ahh Valley before the events of the 2013 feature film. In addition to supporting the show through the Post Production animation retake process my group was responsible for the cave drawing style animation that is seen throughout the series. The big challenge with these sequences was recreating the style that was seen in the feature film but doing it over the course of a television production schedule while still supporting other shows at the same time.
During the course of production the pipeline had to grow and evolve to meed the demands of these sequences. These sequences often had multiple characters within a shot and new characters were being added as the show progressed. So we had to be very flexible in pivoting to different software and different techniques to get everything done on time.
