Paul: Double Negative’s alien adventure
The Art of VFX and Fx Guide published two interviews with Paul animation supervisor Anders Beer.
The two interviews are a great in-depth description of what our tasks and challenges were as "Paul animation team".
There is a bit that makes me really proud, when Anders picks a shot that I animated as one of his favorites!
Signature shots
Beer’s favorite shot, in terms of animation, involves Paul apologizing to a woman who decades earlier had seen him arrive in his UFO, subsequently causing her a lifetime of grief as people ridiculed her alien sighting. “Paul’s trying to muster up the guts to talk to her and apologies for what he’s done and make amends,” explains Beer. “There’s not a lot we can do with Paul – he’s basically listening to her. He’s about to talk to her and she interrupts him with a lecture, saying, ‘You screwed up my whole life!’. Paul is sitting there on the couch and we’re putting all this tension in. It’s all in the eyes and very simple gesturing movements. It’s one of those scenes that I’m really proud of because the animators nailed it right out of the gate. You could see it go from animators-did-a-great-job to lighters-did-an-amazing-job to the compositors dialing it in perfectly.”

Dneg Showreel, March 2011
Dneg March Showreel is online, with some of my shots from Paul: the ones where Paul is reviving the bird (I just did the reviving bit, not when he eats it), and the ones where Graeme strangles him.
Have a look here.

New Paul trailer and poster
A new Paul trailer came out today:
It contains some shots I animated! The ones with Paul healing the bird before eating it, towards the end.
And here is a new poster, this one designed by Greg Mottola, the director.
