"This deceptively simple design required an unusual collaboration between the animation, effects, and compositing departments at Sony Pictures Imageworks. Animators used special silhouette sculpting tools and drew rough 2D effects, effects artists used new software developed for watercolor and sketch looks, and compositors integrated the 2D artists' draw-overs as well as other layers, like proprietary linework tools, to bring together his groundbreaking look."
