This talk addresses the effects of advanced animation technologies on animation production and what that means for animation artists. For example, performance-capture techniques are here to stay, but it has also been shown repeatedly that more traditional means of bringing characters to life still have a major role to play in animation production. What does all of this mean to the artists, performers, actors, and technologists who work together to create great animated films? How do studios, directors, producers, and supervisors decide which techniques will bring their vision to the screen? This talk presents real solutions and guidelines for the people who create and love animation.
