Crafting Paddington 2

Creating an animated version of an iconic children’s book character is no easy feat. But Framestore reunited once again with Paddington – the marmalade-loving Peruvian bear invented by Michael Bond. Framestore worked closely with Michael Bond, the Paddington Estate, StudioCanal and director Paul King to design a CG Paddington before making the first film. Paddington 2 builds on this design – as VFX technology has advanced considerably since 2014, animators were able to give Paddington an upgrade. VFX Supervisor, Glen Pratt, explained how in this Creative Review article.
