LIGHTER -- RHYTHM & HUES STUDIOS

Cats & Dogs represented the first film for R&H with fully furred CG characters, we had previously done some commercials and some films with very short fur, but Cats & Dogs represented the next level.  The shots we had to do for the film were divided into 2 categories: full CG characters and talking animals.  The talking animal pipeline was used when only mouth movement augmentation was necessary over live action animals.
