Plot
A hedgehog princess wants to save the forest and its inhabitants from a horrible drought by reclaiming a magical waterstone from an evil and greedy bear king. Along with her friend squirrel, she travels to the land of the bears.
Production
The film was based on the 1971 book Latte Igel und der Wasser stein. Nina Wels—the director of the movie—grew up enjoying the book, wishing one day she could make an film about the tale. In 2015, the Dreamin' Dolphin Film GmbH studio made a short teasing the main characters.
The movie's animation is made using Autodesk Maya & rendered using Arnold with 14-CPU farms supported by Houdini & Blackmagic Fusion. The directors wanted the film to have a realistic nature environment that has not been touched by humans at all. Most of the applications took place at Grid VFX studios in Ghent, Belgium to give the character a "Pixar-esque" design with realistic fur & trees around 73 animators managed on Dell Computers to give the appearance of the textures by open-source documents made on Substance Painter & Grid's proprietary software the Gclus.
The film involved the completion of more than 1,200 visual effects shots, including the complex compositing of background and foreground plates and CG render layers for 3D assets, lighting & procedural effects,there were also motion vector tools to allow for the motion blur to be added in post, UV tools to reposition and remap textures, and finally relighting tools that could modify the normal, ambient occlusion and position passes to allow for atmosphere and grading adjustments throughout the compositing process.
