Graham was serving as Animation Director and Head of Character to bring this Troll to life, it was an incredible honour. We had plenty of ideas about how a troll should look and move, but working on this project in Norway meant embracing their rich history and deeply respected folklore surrounding mythical trolls. Balancing our creative vision with their traditional aesthetic was a rewarding challenge—and after plenty of collaboration, we got there in the end!

The Troll character was originally designed by Graham, beginning with his own 2D drawings before being developed further by the 3D department under his supervision.
