Peter Chung Takes ‘the Big Risk’ With CGI-Animated Firebreather | CGI more familiar than cel

fb_pr_gallery12Peter Chung Takes ‘the Big Risk’ With CGI-Animated Firebreather | Underwire | Wired.com:
"Infamously risky but rewarding animator Peter Chung has finally made a film for everyone in Firebreather. If his new all-CGI movie is a hit on Cartoon Network, the Aeon Flux creator hopes it will reassure Hollywood that the time is right to pull the trigger on other adult-oriented animated movies."
Chung: For me, it was remarkably easier than it would have been in 2-D. It was very liberating. I've been wanting to do CG for a long time, but the fact is that it would have been impossible to make this film on this budget even two years ago.

Looking forward to seeing this. Check out the trailer at Wired. The CGI looks like the typical quality you see in video games these days. I think that as an alternative to cel-drawn cartoons this may become a popular format for all genres.
