The Smurfs|VFX

Although I've already talked about few movies that inspired me during this project, I wanted to include The Smurfs as it's a good example of family movie, that combines life footage with characters created in 3D software.
The Smurfs movies (2011 and 2013) are loosely based on comics created by Peyo, and were produced by Sony Pictures Animation.
I've attached an interesting video on how the Naughties (a naughty version of Smurfs) were created - from storyboards and basic 3D models to final look. There is also a part, which shows how their walk cycles were made and how they supposed to reflect on their personalities. Rich Hoover (VFX Supervisor for this movie) talks about the changes they had to do to make it all work and how some of the shots were composited.
