Space Jam Slides:
The Making of Space Jam: Part I


The first step of the process has Michael Jordan filmed against a "green screen" backdrop, with a live actor, dressed in green, standing in for Bugs Bunny. This served as a placement guide for the artist animating Bugs as well as for the artists creating the animated background. It also enabled Michael to make and sustain eye contact with Bugs.


This is Rough Animation, the traditional two-dimensional version of Bugs. Animation artists drew this over the stand-in. The green suit and green background will later be erased during compositing.
