In a converted warehouse in Culver City, dozens of painters, designers and storyboard artists were quietly huddled at their desks, sketching characters or plotting 3-D images on their computer screens.
The walls of the 8,000-square-foot office were lined with colorful drawings of monsters, race car drivers and ducklings named Chi and Chao — rough scenes and characters for upcoming animated movies.
The studio, which officially opened last month, looks just like any other bustling animation house in Hollywood. This one, however, is different: It’s the new motion picture division of China’s Original Force, a digital animation studio backed by Chinese social networking company Tencent Holdings.
