Technology

With state-of-the-art computer animation and the latest digital equipment we want to create a living, believable fantasy dream world for the big screen with the widest range of expressions and emotions that classical movie magic and virtual images can create.

Real scenes, natural backgrounds and computer-created imagery shall be seamlessly blended. We will use the full range of classical special effects in addition to CGI - like camera and lighting effects, studio sets, scale models, blue/green screen, matte paintings, digital post production, fireworks, stunts, trained animals, animatronics, prosthetics, special make-up and trained animals combined with all forms of CGI. We call it Magical Realism.

The unicorn itself will be based on motion capture of trained horses and digitally altered, combined with atmospherical shots of computer-enhanced horse photography and fully computer-generated acting, talking and action sequences, again based on natural movements of horses.

All CGI created fantasy creatures will be based on motion elements of real animals - sometimes in combination with animatronics and prosthetics. Natural backgrounds, atmospheres will be enhanced by motion control, time-lapse and slow motion photography.
