Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Shot Builds

This video shows how the shot was built up in layers for the jelly castle scene in cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Its interesting to see how a material like jelly can be created in computer graphics so realistically. Also the characters were animated to be stumbling on jelly, which looks really believable. There are a lot of particle effects in this film but at no point does the film feel too robotic, it is always believable because the character animation is very fluid and believable and the effects and animation blend into each other. The layering of effects is similar to how feature live action films use effects.
