Rotoscoped articulated matte painted composite.
Each frame was cut out separately which was a very time consuming process.
Before
Mixture of
¼ scale stop motion clay models
Full scale Hand puppets.
After
The animation was done in front of a blue screen to make it easier to key out the background in post.
Combination of miniature set, Blue screen, & Matte painting .
Blue screen in studio
The scaled model of central park was centered around the marshmallow man suit, It was 1:18th which wasn’t a normal ratio and this made it difficult to find model cars to populate the streets. One of the team found a police car in a Toys R Us which was the right scale, so they rang around all the Toys R Us stores in California and bought 300, then they chopped them up and turned some into fire engines and ambulances. They turned some into radio controlled cars, drove one into a fire hydrant, made a small pump device to shoot a fine burst of sand up to simulate water, as you can see bottom left.
Miniature set with performer
Matte Painted Building
All composited together
Laser Streams
Mixture of scaled down live explosions & 5 layers of drawn animation.
The live pyro was filmed on a stage, then re-photographed with a technique called pin-blocking, they then miniaturized the explosions and overlaid them onto the guns nozzles.
This particular shot incorporates most of the techniques, a Matte painting in the distant background, a Composite of Stay Puft in front, rotoscoping around the building and actors to cut them out, filmed pyrotechnics scaled down and overlaid on the proton gun barrels and five levels of hand drawn classical animation, frame by frame screened over that from an optical printer to make up the laser streams.
