Kung Fu Panda 4 | Po and Zhen Shot Progression | Animation Breakdowns | 3D Animation Internships
63This was by far one of the most challenging chunk of fighting shots I got on Kung Fu Panda 4. Not only since the first shot was very long and all over the place. But we actually had a lot to figure out with Zhen as a fighter.
Originally, our 2d fight animation choreographer, Philippe Le Brun, had did some awesome kung fu ideas with her. But one of the big notes that came from our co director Stephanie Ma Stine was that Zhen shouldn’t be a master of kung fu yet. But more learn from Po throughout the film.
So one of the first ideas I changed was how Zhen kicked the bowl of chili’s into the wolf’s face. Originally it was this awesome spin kick (sorry I don’t know the actual name) but when I blocked it in, I went with a more Jackie Chan approach, where Zhen actually almost fails, then uses her environment to win the battle.
Big shout out to Mike Amos for giving be the note to have the bowl flip in the air to add some extra flair to the movement. And also another shout out to my sequence supe Antony Gray for all the awesome guidance on this chunk.
One last fun fact. I LOVE Chinese food and originally drew the bowl filled with chili oil. But the production designer thought it would look a bit too close to blood so they went with chili flakes. Either way the wolf gets chili in the eyes and I got to laugh :)
