Did you catch the great interview with Room on the Broom directors Max Lang and Jan Lachauer on AWN last month?

Dan Sarto caught up with the Magic Light duo before the holidays to ask a few questions - and talk through the process of making the Oscar-nominated shorts. From set construction and compositing to combining live-action and CG characters, the guys look at all aspects!

When you build a set, you have actual people working on it, you get their human touch, the imperfections, the fingerprints.  Things are not perfectly mathematically straight. All of this adds to the charm and the appeal of the film. If you did it all in CG, you’d be working backwards, trying to recreate that “human touch” digitally. Studio Soi’s Klaus [Morschheuser] is such a good set builder that anything he touches immediately feels so charming.  If you would have seen these little trees, he uses all types of things that you’d never think of to build these sets. We just love the handmade look.
