Crater Studio has just returned from Munich after attending Animago award and conference 2019, where the short animated film “The Pig on the Hill” won the first prize in the short film category.

  Synopsis

When Pig’s free-spirited, rambunctious new neighbor, Duck, plunges himself into Pig’s quiet, orderly life, Pig learns that having friends is what he has been missing all along.

About The Film

Based on London author John Kelly’s beloved children’s book, “The Pig on the Hill” is heart-warming story about next door neighbors who are worlds apart. Living in the whimsical mountaintop community of Topton, Pig very much enjoys his solitude and silence. In every direction, an expansive, gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains and waterways, with no neighbors as far as the eye can see. One day, however, Duck shows up and zealous about the amazing location, he decides to build a home right next door, causing an awful ruckus as he installs a water slide, swimming pool, palm trees, and outdoor sound system. Pig tries to ignore the disruption to his sanctuary, wearing noise-canceling headphones and busying himself with his daily routine. But Duck’s ebullient presence has forever upset the rhythms of Pig’s organized life.

Crater Studio and Lightstream Animation Studios (LSA) have been partners and collaborators on many VFX, film and animation projects since 2010. It was a great honor to have Mr. Pierce Brosnan as the narrator and a promoter and supporter of the whole project.

We spent almost three years in the making of this little gem. We were coming back to it every time we were free from the ongoing commercial projects. That had its own benefits, as we had some extra time to rethink some of the details. In general pipeline worked well. John and Jamy from LSA were taking care of animation scenes and were fantastic visual consultants. All look development, lighting, compositing and some animation took place in Crater Studio with all creative freedom given. We used Maya – Houdini – Nuke pipeline. Textures were produced in Mudbox. We rendered all shots in Arnold, and composited in Nuke. The aim was to have the best possible beauty renders, so the minimal touches are done in compositing. In order to achieve that artists in Crater Studio spent a considerable amount of time in light & ldev stages of the process. Compositing served to unveil Crater Studio’s artists’ hard work in full color & glory.

Awards as of November 2019

Upravo iz tog razloga smo se sa molbom za razgovor obratili Milovanu Mladenoviću, izvršnom producentu ove sve uposlenije kuće. Kako je došlo do vašeg angažmana za holivudski…
