That goal doesnt sound like much but it takes a lot of real estate to give that much control, Hood explained. It took roughly nine months to achieve the goals they set for the wings alone. In the end, they decided on three birds: one with wings closed, one open and one in transition. The directors used sharp lines to help portray Mr. Straight camera shots and desaturated colors were used to show the harshness and emptiness in his world. The last shot lasts more than a minute, and The Bird flaps his wings 1, times, leaving the Maya file timeline as a bar of red from all the keyframes.

The final scene had 14, frames in all, and was a continuous camera move while tracking two characters and a bus. Swift was attached to the bus, and the camera was required to circle around him. The Bird was attached to the camera, which was constrained to a target.

In a good film, the character drives the camera. The nature of computer animation is the camera had to be there so the animators could animate.

The camera came first, and in a lot of weaker films you would leave it that way. But we really wanted to work the camera and the animation so it felt that the camera was trying to keep up. When a scene is that complicated, even the best rig will fall apart. Reverse transformation is a sort of illusion trick where, in the perspective view where the animator works, everything looks fine, but the controls for the set are on the character.

If they needed to move the Swift character forward, for example, they would grab the set control on the character, and move the set back. Jeffrey Katzenberg enthusiastically supported the project and helped the directors perfect the short. The same was required of First Flight , with the added element of it being the first SubD film rendered in the DreamWorks pipeline. Jefferson was thrilled with the opportunity. It was like taking a Corvette and turning it into a Ferrari, using all their tools.

The film is now out there traveling, literally, with a life of its own. He isn't too keen to pay any attention to the More Production Information Cartoon Video: Sorry, we do not have a video of First Flight.
