The Be Our Guest Re-Animate project is a fan-project directed by Schaffrillas. Each shot from the classic musical scene was handed off to a different animator to re-interpret. I had worked previously with Schaffrillas on the Shiny Reanimate, so it was fun to do it again with a different source material.
The original shot for this scene had a much closer angle at Lumiere's eyeline, but I altered the composition slightly so I wouldn't feel encouraged to just copy the original shot. I couldn't change it too much, because it still needed to match with the neighboring shots.
