One of many very first concepts we had once we began making Shoulders of Giants, was the silhouette of a smaller character driving on the again of a a lot greater character. After which we thought, what should you might management each of those characters without delay? How would that work? Would that be enjoyable?
It took quite a lot of experimentation and prototyping to search out the candy spot, and an expertise that felt recent but acquainted.
