If you have a moment, check out this fun article in Animation World Network about our artistic process of hand drawn animation in the feature film, "Harold and the Purple Crayon". Lots of glimpses behind the scenes with great pictures to show how we did what we did for this cool project.

Bringing 3D Lighting Effects to 2D Animation in ‘Harold and the Purple Crayon’ Noah Catan and the team at Bent Image Labs used his Pantheon software tool to add critical volumetric shading to the key opening scenes of the film, set in Harold’s illustrated book world, without making the characters and their simple lines look like the came from a completely different world.

We at Bent are proud to have been a significant part of this delightful project!
