Creating an animation project is a long and draining process. It takes a lot of creative energy and a lot of labor intensive processes. Doing one such project with everyone in the same building is challenging enough, but when it's not just one project but 6 feature films, one long form episodic and 11 regular episodic… And when instead of everyone in one building we are spread across different buildings on 3 different continents …. The challenges grow and some unexpected ones arise.
In this talk we will be talking about the challenges that come with a global animation pipeline and how Mikros Animation manages to overcome those challenges in order to produce at scale.
