Break out the glitter and felt! It's time to get scrapbooking!
For Trolls: The Beat Goes On! my department dealt with the usual Post retake requests but we also had to produce scrapbook sequences throught the show. These sequences had to have the look and feel from the feature movie but be produceable in a television schedule. Feature's sequences were produced by actually making physical assets as can be seen by Visual Development Artist Priscilla Wong in this clip.
For us to keep up with a television schedule my department was not going to have the time to physically craft these sequences so we had to come up with a digital pipeline that allowed us to quickly build assets. In the process we developed processes in Photoshop and After Effects to help us automate the creation of assets and to streamline the animation process. We also built assets in 3D when doing things in 2D didn't give us the physical dimension that we needed. By building a digital library it also let us recycle parts of assets to create new assets.
Doing things digitally also meant we didn't have to worry about glitter getting everywhere.
