2D animation in the VR clouds: the making of disney's "a kite's tale"

Published: 28 July 2019 Publication History

Abstract

The experimental animated virtual reality short "a kite's tale" required cgi and hand-drawn characters to interact in a highly art-directed environment made of spectacular clouds. In this talk we'll examine the workflows developed to create the short, with particular emphasis on the integration of hand-drawn animation and performant real-time cloud rendering.
