- Replying to @HawksNestIt's a cinematic technique used to heighten the emotional tension. Compressing the space. Isolating the character. Pulling the audience in close. All while the cave around her is starting to collapse. Gives the shot a sense of claustrophobia.
- Replying to @TonymationFor those asking why her arms are long: I decided to place her hands in this position because this is where they looked best with the camera (85 mm). If I moved them closer to her face, they would have looked like they were too close to her face, and her eyeline wouldn't work.
- Replying to @TonymationI love how this has sparked the curiosity of so many people. I encourage those interested to experiment with a real camera or a digital camera in 3D software so you can grasp the concepts and why these choices were made. Have fun!!
- I like to think her gift was empathy.
- Replying to @Marc_SpectorrSimilar The director went for an emotional feel that went beyond what they could do physically.
- The layout artist, Chris McKane, used a long lens to compress the space to isolate Mirabel and pull the audience up close to the action.
- I was thinking of my daughter! Fun to find gifs of shots I animated. :)
- Replying to @HardyLettuceNotice the position of the camera, the length of the lens, and how the space in the frame compresses.
- Replying to @JordanFalk6It's counterituitive, but not necessarily wrong. Only wrong when you see how it was achieved. 😋

- How did you know?? 😅
- This moment was special to animate. It was at the end of production and I was tired. I woke up every day trying to bring the emotion necessary to the hugging shots. I wish I could improve them, but regardless, they represent something powerful.“The miracle is you. All of you.” 💛 🦋 Thank you to the #Encanto fans around the world who made La Familia Madrigal part of your family, from all of us at Disney Animation.
