The Tooth Fairy

Task

A mother ordered this film for her daughter as the second part of a two-film order, with the same heroes as Halloween Adventures. At night a fairy and a mouse take a tooth from under the pillow and leave a coin.

What we did

1. Built a separate character sheet for the girl, the fairy and the mouse, so none of them change between shots.
2. Made the fairy look clearly different from the girl, so the model would not give her the child's face.
3. Set the scale of the small characters with reference frames and kept the camera at pillow height.
4. Joined two 15-second scenes where the music stops on the girl's breath, and changed shots through camera moves.
