On October 23, Mikros Animation will host a must-attend conference as part of the CAFÉ VFX, a special segment organized in collaboration with the Bureau du cinéma et de la télévision du Québec (BCTQ). This segment highlights the pivotal role of visual effects and animation in Québec’s creative ecosystem.
• Conference: “Adapting a Grunge 2D Aesthetic to 3D – TMNT: Mutant Mayhem”
The conference, scheduled from 12:15 PM to 2:15 PM, will take attendees behind the scenes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Directed by Jeff Rowe, the film took on the challenge of modernizing the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, portraying the characters as authentic teenagers with awkward bodies and imperfect actions, a reflection of their mutant and adolescent nature. Mikros Animation successfully translated the grunge 2D artistic style into every frame of 3D animation, requiring a complete rethinking of traditional CG workflows.
Mikros Animation’s key speakers, Jacques Daigle (Head of Animation) and Brian Gossart (Global Associate Head of Animation), will share their experiences and the challenges they faced during this stylistic reinvention. They will discuss the specific techniques that allowed them to retain the artistic essence of 2D while fully utilizing the capabilities of 3D animation.
This exclusive conference is an unparalleled opportunity for animation enthusiasts, professionals, and curious minds to discover how Mikros Animation continues to push the boundaries of digital creativity. Don’t miss the chance to explore the behind-the-scenes of this groundbreaking film and meet the talents behind this technical feat.
