The Little Painter (Kenny Roy´s animation marathon)

It was a true pleasure to be able to watch Kenny Roy´s 24 hour animation marathon today and yesterday. The experience of seeing a scene coming to life from the first sketches was irreplacable!

Here´s Kenny´s workflow checklist:

Kenny kept us updated with playblasts and very interesting workflow insights. Here´s a video to see how everything slowly came together (including the final render):

It was a great and also a very rare chance to be able to look over a pro´s shoulder and see him doing a great animation just from scratch. Unfortunately I couldn´t stay awake for the whole time, so I missed the last little tweaks and the polishing phase. Some of my future classmates were attending the marathon as well and all of us had a great time in our little skype-group. I even know of someone who stayed through the whole thing and doesn´t regret a minute :D


So everything I have left to say is:

THANK YOU KENNY!
