this article is about how a talented team brought a 2D toon called Spongbob, to life in 3D. to achieve this, they are using a method called stop motion. this stop motion technique was used in movies such as Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and Santa Clause is Coming to Town. Screen Novelties had also done some amazing stop motion on tv shows, such as Robot Chicken, Chowder, MAD, and the Marvelous Adventures of Flapjack. one of the teams biggest struggle was to make bikini bottom believable like it is in 2D.
my response while reading this article was that i found it very interesting. being a fan of spongbob, its cool how they are trying to animate things differently. spongbob has always been one of my favorite tv shows to watch when i was little. still is! while i was reading, they directors are very creative with the set witch i find really cool. for the flooring they used fruity pebbles to add color and texture and make it look real. but all together, i'm even excited to see this!
