For something new from Eric Goldberg, check out the "tattoos" in the new Disney film MOANA, in theaters everywhere on November 23, 2016.

You can see Eric’s work next in the new Disney Animated film Moana. He animates the tattoos on the Hawaiian God character played by the Rock. I can’t wait to see this movie as it looks amazing.

Mark Henn: I actually did a little piece of animation for the film which was largely an effect and part of it got changed and part of it stayed so it’s really buried.

Q: What was it?

Mark Henn: It’s part of little Elsa’s vision in the sky at the very beginning and I animated some characters and they changed. […] It was a silhouette of Elsa and a silhouette of some crowds and for whatever reason they changed what I did on Elsa and put something else in but kept the crowd animation I did where papa troll says “You’re going to have great powers but these powers can be very dangerous” and the crowd at first is like “Ah”. It’s just real simple silhouettes but it was kind of fun to do.

There’s a little bit of 2D animation there; some of the silhouettes and visions that they see. I did a couple of those. So, I actually did a little bit of animation for Frozen but the bulk of my job was to do draw-overs, work with the animators, give them some ideas on just how to make the animation better.

As a final treat, we were shown a preview clip of the upcoming animated film, Moana. In the clip we see Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s character Maui trying to impress the title princess and her pig pet-sidekick with his amazing demi-god skills. Looks like another classic is in the works.

Pardon for my ignorance, but does Disney have a new approach towards not modelling the characters after the actors, as opposed as they did with their hand drawn characters? Since Moana was designed before casting the voice actor for her.
