(See all the process, character design, style frames, at http://www.plenty.tv/work/good-books-we-need-to-talk-about-alice )nn"We need to talk about Alice" was commissioned by New Zealand based agency String Theory and created to be part of Good Books' "Great Writers Series," a collection of short films made to promote the non profit organization (www.gogoodbooks.com) which is an online charity book store that sells book and donates all proceeds to Oxfam, an organization that fights hunger and poverty since 1995.nnIn the last few years, a select group of directors have donated their time and knowledge to create animated shorts based on renowned literary works and authors to promote this charity. In 2012, Buck launched the amazing "Metamorphosis", a tribute to author Hunter S. Thompson. Then came "Havana Heat" in 2013, a sensual animation produced by renowned duo McBess and Simon from The Mill.nnPlenty had the honor of creating the third a 2:30 minute short film for Good Books based on Lewis Carroll's "Alice's adventures in Wonderland" to commemorate the book's 150th anniversary.nnAfter a lot of dedication, hard work and passion for what we do, it's our pleasure to introduce "We need to talk about Alice" nnWe'll be posting more about the project soon! We have a 5 minute breakdown where you'll be able to see the whole process for this amazing adventure we embarked in! A lot of process stills, extra content and some magical gifs!nnWe hope you love it! We were honored to be a part of a series of shorts that will leave a mark in the history of motion graphics.nn--nnDirected & Produced by PlentynCreative Directors: Pablo Alfieri & Mariano FaríasnArt Director: Elda BroglionAnimation Director: Mariano FaríasnExecutive Producer: Inés PalmasnProducer: César Morán MazonnConcept by: String TheorynE.C.D.: Jeremy TainenWriters: Devon Wood & Jeremy TainenMusic & Sound Design: Liquid StudiosnnMusic Composer: Peter van der Fluit & Liquid StudiosnStoryboard & Animatic: Claudio Iriarte & Mariano FaríasnCharacter Design: Elda Broglio, Claudio Iriarte & German MerlonProduction Design: Elda Broglio, Carolina Carballo & Eugenia MellonBackground Design: Eugenia Mello & Elda BroglionBooks Covers Design: Pablo Alfierin3D Modelling: Juan Martín Miyagi, Matías Fernandez, Juan Pablo Fernandez , Benjamín Jagusieczko & Natalia UrrutianScripting: Agustín Schilling & Ago CarreranCG Supervisor, 3D Technical Direction and FX: Agustín SchillingnCharacter Rigging: Germán Merlo, Agustín Schilling, Benjamín Jagusieczko, Ramiro Tell & Guillermo ComolinSkin Fixing: Agustín Schilling, German Merlo & Nicolás Mandelmann3D Character Animation: Mauro Serei, Pablo Lorenzo, Laura Lempert & German Merlon3D Animation: German Merlo, Mariano Farías & Hernán Estevezn2D Animation & Transitions: Germán Merlo, Mau Lencinas , Sergio Slepczuk, Hernán Estevez & Mariano FaríasnAnimation Consulting: Federico RaderonPainting & Texturing: Carolina Carballo, Elda Broglio, Benjamín Jagusieczko & Eugenia MellonShading: Ago CarreranLead Lighter: Ago CarreranLighting: Ago Carrera, Benjamín Jagusieczko, Juan Casale, Natalia Urrutia & Matias Mastrogianon3D Rendering: Ago Carrera, Benjamín Jagusiecsko & Agustín SchillingnLead VFX & 2D Technical Direction: Matías MastrogianonCompositors: Matías Mastrogiano & Nicolás Holodovsky, Benjamín Jagusiecsko, Milena Girini & Edgardo OsornionEdition & Montage: Mariano FaríasnnLive Action Actors Coach:: Valeria GrossinLive Action Casting Camera: Sandra GrossinnCastingnAlice: Catalina AlexandernMad Hatter: Julián PuchettanWhite Rabbit & Rose: Karina HernandeznnVO Presenter: Michael HurstnnVoice Over ArtistsnAlice: Brie Ana HillnMad Hatter: Syd JacksonnLady Rose: Tania AndersonnWhite Rabbit: Ian HughesnCheshire Cat: Michael HurstnnSpecial Thanks: Alín Bosnoyan, Mariela Fabregas, Sam McManus & Eduardo Graña Less
