The Making Of Rango

These cool featurettes were released by ILM Visual on Youtube to showcase some of the unorthodox process for creating (In our opinion) one of the best animated features from last year directed by Gore Verbinski. Some interesting choices included not using any motion capture, filming the actors acting out each and every one of the scenes with dialogue, and their approach to taking characters from 2D to 3D with their virtual maquette process, and their usage of assymetry in design.

This movie really stood out with its incredibly strong visual identity and offbeat story revolving around Rango, an Iguana who finds himself stranded in a desert with even stranger inhabitants after falling out the back of a car during a move.
