The Emmy award-winning DuckTales first hit screens 40 years ago. Disney approached Pebble Studios to discuss how to launch a remake of the show for a 21st century audience.
The show needed to excite a new, young, and digitally minded consumer, whilst also re-igniting the passion of those who remembered the original series.
With 90% of US audiences using YouTube to consume content and the importance of reaching a new tech-savvy customer, Pebble Studios developed a concept that invited Disney fans to experience Duckburg like never before by creating a 360 degree animated episode that put the consumer at the heart of the adventure, up close and personal with these iconic characters.
The project presented a number of challenges, not least of which was how to make traditional, cell-animated characters fit seamlessly into 3D, 360, computer-generated environments. Pebble Studios achieved this by matching the 3D cameras in 2D, and as the perspective changed, they worked this into the design of the characters.
