Lame duck, sitting

 

 

This coming Friday (06/11), I’ve been invited to talk about the animation industry - current state and where I think it’s headed - at the Academia de Bellas Artes in La Coruña.

 

See posters for more info.

Tiny contribution

 

Shortly before I left for Montreal, our animation team at Pixomondo Frankfurt started working on a sequence for Ant-Man and the Wasp - Quantumania. I didn’t think more of my contribution until the other day when I watched the movie for the first time.  To my pleasant surprise, I saw my name in the credits. 

                                      

The sequence we worked on:

 

 

 

Everything from concept art, environment, animation, lighting to the final render. Our animation team was in charge of animating everything that crawled, floated or creeped around.                        

A lot of animation cycles were created.

Strange Encounters
