I had to sit in front of all these people, and act like I knew what I was doing. I faked my way through it pretty well.
Walt DohrnThe number one thing is creating this world ["Trolls" ] - what the world is going to look like, feel like and what technology will we need to use to get there.
Walt DohrnWe'd all [with Mike Mitchell] been together at Dreamworks for over ten years, so we all had the same goals.
Walt DohrnIt was so complex [in "Trolls"] that the technical team had to build a new program. It was about rendering and manipulating that weird hair. We also wanted to break the mold of what what we thought the princess was about...we wanted to keep her troll 'look' - the stumpy legs, an ugly/cute look, it was all inspired from the doll.
