Condorito: La Película
Condorito: La Película (Condorito: The Movie)
I worked as Layout Lead on Condorito: La Película, the fully CG animated feature based on the classic Latin American comic character, heading the layout department through the production.
My responsibilities on the film included:
Leading the layout department: assigning and scheduling shots, reviewing the team's work and keeping quality, style and continuity consistent across the whole film.
Rough layout: translating the storyboards and animatic into 3D, defining cameras, lenses, staging and shot composition for each sequence.
Character and set blocking: placing characters, props and sets in Maya and setting the timing of each shot, giving animation a clear starting point.
Final layout: refining cameras after animation and dressing the sets for the final frame.
Working with direction and production: collaborating with the directors on the cinematography of the film, and with production on priorities and deadlines.
Delivery: publishing cameras, layouts and scene data for the animation, lighting and compositing teams.
Thanks to the whole team for a great project. It was a privilege to help bring such a beloved character to the big screen.
