‘Paddington in Peru’ VFX Studio Reveals Secrets of Bringing the Lovable Bear to Life, From Human Stand-Ins to 4K Fur (EXCLUSIVE)
Framestore has unveiled a VFX breakdown video showing their work on Paddington in Peru, including creating 4K fur and all-CGI llamas
With “ Paddington in Peru ” now on its second week of adventures in U.S. cinemas and having hit a global box office of $125 million, VFX powerhouse Framestore has lifted the lid on how it brought the entirely CG bear — and much of his surroundings — to life. In a VFX breakdown video exclusively given to Variety, the company has unveiled the work that went into not just creating Paddington Bear, but the vast array of other animals that feature in film, the exotic Peruvian locations, including the Home for Retired Bears (mostly shot in a U.K. studio), and a scene in which Paddington takes control (badly) of a riverboat careering down a chopping jungle river (again, shot in the U.K.). The total render time for “Paddington in Peru” reached an incredible 88,884,749 hours (or 10,146 years), across Framestore’s studios in London, Montreal, and Mumbai.
