Great Learning Experience - It was indeed an Awesome experience, I learned a lot from the entire process. Firstly , It was a project on 3DS MAX, secondly, Working with world class studio.Working in a pipeline that is Efficient and Super productive. Thirdly, Understanding the Mindset of Toddlers as the show was aimed at children. It was the most crucial part to keep the animation simple yet strong.Any unnecessary/violent/very rapid or very subtle movement could divert the attention/interest of the toddler or could harm their sensitive mind. So, we had to really plan out each shot in the most simplified yet effective manner.
