As the Animation Department at Blue Sky Studios we are the trademark team of the studio. However, we really build from the departments around us to service the film as whole.

In animated feature films, the dialogue of our characters is recorded before the animation begins. If the actors give the characters their voice, then it is we, the animators who give them their soul. We take the final product from our Modeling and Rigging departments to create every gesture, blink and smile.

Animating a character in the computer is like moving around a puppet; for every movement or action the animator will pose the character using a variety of controls that move the head, hips, arms, feet and legs, and countless other details to build a performance.

Our tasks can be very technical in practice, but here at Blue Sky we work hard to focus on the art and beauty of animation to create fun, touching, and memorable characters.
