Description

Animation Supervisor, Christophe St-Pierre,  examines the primary technical challenges encountered by the RODEO FX animation team, specifically the complex task of imbuing a 300-foot titan with human-like expressiveness.

For the second season of *Monarch: Legacy of Monsters*, the production required Kong to possess both emotional depth and a realistic sense of weight and purpose. 

Christophe will outline the motion capture process that grounded the performance, detailing how the animation team refined raw data to achieve a result defined by authentic scale and presence.

Christophe's Animation and Supervision includes:
- Dwarves from Snow White
- The bear of Paddington
- Disney’s Pinocchio 
- Ghostbusters: Harold Ramis as Egon Spengler character
