The Wingfeather Saga Short film<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I had the opportunity to work on The Wingfeather Saga animated short this year. It was a great project all around: great story, great art, super talented team, etc…\u00a0 The animated short was funded through a\u00a0 super successful Kickstarter\u00a0campaign. There were a core\u00a0pre-production\u00a0and directorial team composed of industry\u00a0veterans. Tom Owens<\/a> as director, Keith\u00a0Lango<\/a> as CG Supervisor, Nicholas Kole<\/a> as Production Designer, and Chris Wall<\/a> as Producer. This that was spread out across the United States, and then funneled the\u00a0work into Magnetic Dreams<\/a> for the bulk of the creation of the short.<\/p>\n<\/div>

As for my\u00a0involvement, I helped out in RnD during the early phases of production, to test and define\/refine the look of the show. There was a clear intent to go into a new style of the show. A style where the show would look like\u00a0” the art book of the show”. The 3D and 2D would be merged to have a great 2D style. So in the compositing, we were looking into\u00a0the different techniques to bring the 3D rendered and the 2d painted backgrounds together, and figure out what the tools and visual vocabulary would\u00a0be for the show.<\/p>\n

As compositing supervisor, I would work 3 or 4 shots of each sequence to set the look and feel for the sequences. Defining what the color correction\u00a0values were for the 3D characters, defining and fx looks ( particles, light rays, etc…), modifying panted backgrounds if needed. Then, I would pass on the sequence to one or two other comp artists to help with propagating the look.<\/p>\n

This was definitely\u00a0a very fun project to work on (even though it involved many nights and weeks ends) and I think it shows!<\/p>\n<\/div>

This is an example of re-usage of painted\u00a0backgrounds. Instead of having\u00a0an artist give us another painting, we would go through the photoshop layers in the comp department\u00a0and color correct the painting to give it a night feel.<\/p>\n<\/div>
