Watch Stylish Cooking Videos Made by “Minions” Director Using Blender

Yes, you’ve read the title right, in yet another entry in the I-can’t-believe-this-is-not-clickbait saga, “Minions” and “Despicable Me 3” director Kyle Balda has been releasing highly stylized cooking tutorials on his “ChouChou” youtube channel.

Thanks Ton! This is humbling praise. Blender is simply amazing and I’m excited to create many more projects on this platform. pic.twitter.com/wpsqCsukmr

Blender was used to create, animate, and render ChouChou and the other animated characters in the series, with After Effects being used for the compositing. Check out the first episode in the series below (warning: do not watch this while hungry)

Extensive and incredibly informative making-off videos on the “InLightVFX” youtube channel, which I recommend as strongly as the actual episodes themselves.
