There is a scene in the film that might have been impossible to produce without computer imaging. The scene involves Scar wanting to kill his royal relatives by trapping them under the crowd of thousands of running wildebeests. “Sometimes directors want to achieve an effect that would be virtually impossible to achieve with traditional animation techniques,” explains CGI. supervisor Scott Johnston. This is where computer animation can sometimes make a difference. A stampede of thousands of wildebeest would be too laborious to create by hand, but animators working with computers can also understand the animal's behavior and replicate it. create all the camera angles required by the scene and adapt them to the landscape of the environment. Basically, they had the hand-drawn model of the wildebeest made, supervised by animator Ruben Aquino, from which Johnston and his CGI team developed the exact same computer-generated model. It is up to the 3D animators to translate the 2-dimensional idea into something 3-dimensional. dimensions. They had to build the mo....
