Abstract:
Using real production examples from Blue Sky Studios’ Spies in Disguise, we demonstrate how to break down effects within the production, taking into consideration a variety of aspects from optimization to collaboration. We walk through our thought process on how to go about designing workflows best suited for the job and plan ahead to maximize efficiency and flexibility during shot work.
