Bad people are back! Charming 2022 in the sequel to the Animated Hest Comedy, Bad people 2 Wolf, shark, piranha, webs and snakes find, yet they are joining another curse, even trying to live on straight and narrow.
Like the original, the sequel retains the handicraft-nimation look. Director Pierre Periphell says, “The style was already established in the first film, where we were deliberately trying to move away from CG Mold, which we see a lot in big Hollywood animation films.”

“We have been watching films in the same way for so long. Studio, artists and filmmakers are trying to find different ways for their films. the bad guys One of the first films was that actually tried to pursue the envelope. We tried to create a illustrated experience for looks and effects. ,
The 45 -year -old French filmmaker says the experiment was close to him and the team’s heart. “In the bad guys We discovered how we could open the film. The sequel takes those concepts and carries them out extensively with different camera lenses. We were having fun with the look. ,
Pierre says, a unique view style was created. “It was quite attractive to see and I am proud of it. In terms of storytelling, it helps us to join everything together, sophisticated and silly story from the speed of the characters.”
Always in service
Lakshya, Pierre says, the scene is not allowed to dominate the story. “The scene should always be in the service of the story, as opposed to taking a sanysage. We did something that does a great job. It is elegant, but it doesn’t dominate you. You’ll never lose with those scenes.”
Most of the artists have reiterated their roles from Sam Rockwell to Arkwafina and Anthony Ramos. The Voice Cast, Pierre says, shaped the characters. “At the end of the film, the police chief gives a soulful speech. Alex Borsstein, who played the role of Misty Lugins, the head of the police, asked me how I wanted to play a speech.

Borstein gave a speech in this way, says Pierre. “It was surprising. Then he said,” Do you think I should make it completely real, as if he really broke the heart? ” And I said, ‘Yes, of course.’ He did so, was actually crying during recording.
Bad people 2 Our favorite corrected criminals are hunting for a rare mineral called McGfinite, a drama on McGfin, a familiar plot device. Says Pierre, “The thing with self-conscious humor is that you need to be careful about how much you use, because it can get the audience out of the film.” “We do many versions of the film. First you write the script, then you do it a storyboard, cut it, add music and dialogue, and see how it feels. Then you bring it back, take some notes and work again.”

This is when you refine the film properly how you want it, Pierre says. “This is where you say that the funny joke is so self -conscious, so Meta, so that it risks the viewers’ risk of pulling out of the story. We left some of them, but we had many more that we did not use because we wanted to make sure that it would not distract you very much.”
