I was brought into production on Early Man half way through the making of the film. As production progressed it became clear that more CG was required than initially imagined so I was asked to be cg-supervisor and oversee the creation of assets, rigging and keeping our in house team of CG animators productive and organised. The stadium and crowd were outsourced to another production company but all the digi-double assets and animation were created in the Aardman studios so that the supervising animators for stop motion could also approve CG animation and ensure that as well as visually being identical to the stop motion puppets, they also had he same performance quality. Here is the trailer for the film. Below are some clips from the production process and finished cg sequences.
