Red Riding Hood's Effx

Below the Line's interview with effects supervisor Jeff Okun:

[Okun:] ... For the wolf, [director] Catherine [Hardwicke] had collected images of every werewolf that has ever appeared in a motion picture, TV show and in books that we could find. The design of the wolf was brought along by Catherine, her concept designer, me, and an artist at Digital Domain who sculpted it for us. It became a collage of bits and pieces of feelings that we drew upon to come up with this wolf. We also built it based off of things that she hated. We had lots of round-table discussions.

The wolf was then animated by Craig Talmy, the director of animation at Rhythm and Hues. ...

Even the most live action of live-action pictures today has animation in it. Guys in wolf suits and gorilla suits are so 1970s ...

It's a horrible movie, with truly awful design and even worse animation. That was a WEREWOLF? Heh...

Was better than rango, but not better than mars needs moms (which was also bad).

Red Riding Hood was a lot of fun. The wolf looked really good. Rango was awesome! Mars Needs Mom's? No thanks.
