Renowned animator Glen Keane, best known for his character animation for Disney feature films like Aladdin, Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and Tangled, has been working with the Google Advanced Technology and Projects Group on one of their new series of interactive animations.
In the process, he has created preliminary hand-drawn animation (not interactive) called Duet, that is available on YouTube.
I’ve taken the liberty in the images above of cropping in on some of the frames, but these screen grabs don’t begin to do Keane’s beautiful drawings and fluid animation justice.
Watch it in full screen.
There is Duet making of video that goes into the project and process in more detail. Also see the article on Cartoon Brew, which is where I learned of the film.
