{THINGS WE LOVE} Rocket Raccoon Digital Effects Reel
0Last summer, Guardians of the Galaxy introduced us to one of the most unlikely fan favorite characters in recent memory, Rocket Raccoon. Director James Gunn pulled off a universe where a talking raccoon didn’t feel out of place. This was a mark that could have easily been missed. With a solid screenplay prepared, it would take a talented voice actor and a fantastic visual effects design team to successfully pull the character out of a comic book and onto the screen.
With the voice talents of Bradley Cooper, and the visual effects company Framestore, we got the rendition of Rocket that quickly became a fan favorite. Now, we are able to see the process that Framestore used on visually creating the character. A video has been released that breaks down the steps that were taken. There are surprising techniques used that are innovative to say the least. You could tell that this production was a labor of love from everyone involved. Check it out.
