Netflix has posted a brand new featurette for the critically acclaimed miniseries Maya and the Three. The new video takes a look at the journey from storyboard to the series' eye-catching animation.

Posted on Netflix's Twitter, the brand new featurette shows the evolution of the show from still images to the animation that has had fans and critics raving. The video shows a scene where the main antagonist of the series, the God of War, summons an army of minions to battle our heroes. The screen is split into two: the top part of the screen showing the final product that you will see upon booting the series up on Netflix while the bottom screen shows a series of storyboards for the scene, transitioning into early animation layouts.

It is a fascinating look behind the scenes of the animations process as you get a glimpse of the process of getting a piece of animation from pictures and drawings into full-blown animation, which is especially interesting when it comes to a show like Maya and the Three which has such lively and vibrant colors and expressive animation.
