The Partner
PREMISE Entertainment is a media-based production company specializing in visual storytelling and character development. With a portfolio spanning animation, film, publishing, and themed entertainment, PREMISE is a powerhouse in crafting captivating narratives brought to life by unforgettable characters.
The Problem
In animation, every character has a voice, but what happens when your script demands an average of not just one, not two, but three speaking characters in every shot? That's the unique challenge PREMISE Entertainment faced as they began producing a fully animated feature film. With over 90 speaking characters throughout the movie, the complexity became a significant technical hurdle.
The Solution
To overcome these challenges, PREMISE Entertainment turned to ExoTools, an industry-leading expert in character development and visual effects. ExoTools stepped in as a strategic partner, offering their extensive experience and insights to help PREMISE tackle the complexities of the project.
Collaborating closely with the producers and animator supervisors at PREMISE, ExoTools helped conceptualize, design, and implement pipelines and workflows tailored to seamlessly build the population of characters. By harnessing ExoTools' expertise, PREMISE was well-equipped to navigate the intricacies of character development in their ambitious project.
The Impact
ExoTools' rich experience in high-end visual effects and animation productions was pivotal in setting the foundation for the movie's workflows and pipelines. As the movie's production gets underway, the strategic advice provided by ExoTools ensures that the processes work smoothly, even as the project's complexity increases with each character introduced into the narrative.
What We Loved
The unique challenges of the film are what drew ExoTools into this project. The opportunity to provide strategic consulting for a movie with such parameters, featuring many characters, allowed ExoTools to blend technology, artistry, and process seamlessly. It's a testament to the magic that can happen when creativity and expertise collide, ultimately shaping a world of characters that will captivate audiences.
