Little Bird Presentation at CTN

Hey, I’ve announced this on Twitter but never actually did a post about it. In a little over 24 hours, at 2:30 PST, Chris Perry, Jill Daniels, and I will be doing a presentation on the making of our short Little Bird at CTN. We’ll be talking about the new multi-pass rendering and compositing tools I’ve been showing you bits a pieces of, and what it was like using them on a real production. This was also the first production to use Mark 3 of the ephemeral system, and all the deformation rigging was done with Contour.

CTN is being held partly in-person and partly remotely this year. I’ll be joining remotely myself. Getting a remote ticket is pretty cheap—it’s $17. No, I didn’t forget any zeroes there! Anyone who has the time should definitely tune in, and if you don’t it’s going to be recorded.

There will be plenty of question and answer after the presentation. If there are further questions, I’m going to be hosting an extended question and answer session on Discord (the link will be posted at the talk).

Be there, or you will surely be defined as a polygon with four edges of equal length and four right angles.
