ABSTRACT
In an ongoing collaboration, LAIKA and Intel are combining expertise in machine learning and filmmaking, to develop AI powered tools for accelerating digital paint and rotoscope tasks. LAIKA’s stop-motion films, with unique character designs and 3d printed facial animation, provide challenging use cases for machine learning methodologies. Intel’s team has focused on tools that fit seamlessly into the workflow and deliver powerful automation.

Automated Resource Leveling and Scheduling at LAIKA
SIGGRAPH '20: ACM SIGGRAPH 2020 TalksTo manage the ever-increasing complexity and collaboration in the creation of physical assets for LAIKA’s hybrid stopmotion/CG features, we developed an integrated browser-based workflow that enables automated resource leveling and scheduling in a ...
The robots of LAIKA
SIGGRAPH '18: ACM SIGGRAPH 2018 TalksLAIKA, one of the world's largest stop-motion studios is also one of the industry leaders in robotic technology for film production. We present a talk explaining some of the ways we use our robots to move cameras, bounce sets, and generally work hand in ...
Keyframe-based tracking for rotoscoping and animation
We describe a new approach to rotoscoping --- the process of tracking contours in a video sequence --- that combines computer vision with user interaction. In order to track contours in video, the user specifies curves in two or more frames; these ...
