When Motion Design Challenges the Limits of Animation

Paul-Etienne Bourde (2D Supervisor, Mikros Animation)
Mael Gourdenne (Motion Designer)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Lighting for Stylized Animation
Wednesday, June 12 at 3:15pm – ImpĂ©rial Palace – Rotonde de l’Europe

Join Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles VFX Supervisor Matthieu Rouxel from Mikros Animation for a discussion about the stylized animated feature’s lighting and look development process.
