Over the last month six of Europe's leading animation studios have been taking part in a unique 'speed animation' challenge. Curated by New York-based Cut&Paste and powered by HP Workstations, 'London's Hero' involved six teams working together to create the UK capital's first ever superhero.
Each team had just five hours to create a 10-second clip that showed a different stage of a new superhero's life, from baby to senior. Last week we unveiled the finished character in this report (opens in new tab). And now here's some extra insight into the process, in the form of a special 'making of' video.
Meanwhile, if you'd like to learn more about the animators behind the challenge, then check out our exclusive profiles of the companies involved: namely Mummu (opens in new tab), Golden Wolf (opens in new tab), Fred & Eric (opens in new tab), Blackmeal (opens in new tab), Territory (opens in new tab), Animade (opens in new tab).
