Legend of the Guardians: Animal Logic reversing Australia's brain drain

In conversation with Encore, Animal Logic CEO Zareh Nalbandian explained how, with projects such as the U$100m animated feature Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole, the company is helping reverse Australia’s brain drain in the VFX and animation sectors.

How did the process for Legend of the Guardians differ from the one for Happy Feet?

What they have in common is that they both break new ground in terms of animation and how believable the characters are because they’re animated in such a realistic way.

Financially, they’re both with Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures. They’re both co-financed, and are both major tentpole movies with wide distribution around the world.
