Lilly
Lilly is the young female protagonist of the film. A brilliant and creative inventor, who's just a little too short. Lilly always finds a way to get what she wants. Lilly’s ambitious personality is a stark contrast to the colorful little suburbs she is from.
Concept
Lilly has undergone numerous changes in her design and stylization as the Little Lilly crew has created a large quantity of variations in her design and overall look. Lilly’s initial design helped define some of Lilly’s key characteristics such as her hair, short stature, and her attitude.
Lilly’s hair was the most debated part of her design! It took us 18 weeks to finalize!
After deciding on a look, the crew worked on refining the details of Lilly’s shirt and color scheme to get a palette that would work with Lilly’s personality and style. Lilly’s expressions were also made to help in the development of the 3D Model.
The final look of Lilly in 2D!
3D Model
Lilly’s 3D model was initially bald as we played with varying hairstyles for her.
Lilly’s clothes were altered multiple times to fit her proportions.
Lilly’s 3D model ended up going through multiple iterations and versions until the crew was satisfied with the design. During all this, the crew started to create animations for the film, refining them as newer versions of Lilly’s model became available.
Rig
When animating Lilly’s face we used a combination of blendshapes and facial controls to give Lilly with a wide variety of facial expressions for any situation she might face.
