Producer/director/writer Morgan Neville has become known for his musician profiles. What is different with?Piece by Piece?is that the life and career of Pharrell Williams is depicted not through the traditional documentary means of talking heads and archival footage but instead as a LEGO animated feature. Two versions were made of the documentary, with the more traditional approach used as a rough template for its animated counterpart. "For a long time, documentaries were seen as just journalism with pictures. [Piece by Piece] is cinema first. That kind of liberation is good for filmmakers and audiences." - —Morgan Neville Go inside the animated docu in our award-winning #VFXVoice Magazine - https://lnkd.in/g5vNb83n
