“Forever” (2020) Preview
Team Rattlesnacks
Summer Industry Course 2020
Final Animation:
This course took place in the summer of 2020 at Texas A&M University. My group consisted of 5 members: Amanda Blettner, Connor Bugni, Kelly Burroughs, Izzy Rollo, and Drew Gillie (Thats me.) We had industry mentors from several studios guide us through this project. We could not have done this project without them, and some of the Viz staff. Check out the credits to see all who helped us in this project.
This course was a 10-week course with 2 extra weeks of preproduction before the first week. Due to the circumstances around this time, we completed this project online. We would have team meetings, and dailies via Zoom. We used Google Drive as our workspace and pipeline; and Gridmarkets as our cloud rendering platform.
Since this was a first for many of us, it gave us the opportunity to build a custom pipeline from scratch. This presented many challenges, but we did overcome them and were able to produce something that I am extremely proud of.
What was my role? I opted to take on Rendering and Pipeline as this is something I am extremely interested in, and passionate about. One reason is because it requires a lot of problem solving, and knowledge of each part of the pipeline.
For a behind the scenes look at this project, stay tuned for the Full Post
