In fact, it was with the help of India’s animation house DQ Entertainment Limited that 9 Story’s latest creative venture, Skyland, was able to take off. Co-produced by 9 Story and Method, Skyland is bound to impress its audience with its film-quality production standards. Using the combination of enchanting dreamscape backgrounds painted by director/show creator Emmanuel Gorinstein and CG motion capture over special sci-fi effects, Skyland appears less like a regular television show and more like something that should be on the big screen. “Emmanuel created these amazing landscapes over at Method Films.
