‘The Summit of the Gods’ Takes 2D Animation to New Heights
John Hopewell Chief International CorrespondentIn one extract from the Annecy online presentation of banner French production “The Summit of the Gods,” a climber steels himself to jump over a huge, gaping, seemingly bottomless crevasse, its ice walls tinged a lethal dark blue – cold that will kill you quickly.Running at the crevasse, the climber flings himself into the air. Cut to a shot of his landing on the snow on the other side, gasping in relief.This is, of course, the stuff of a live action film.
