Session:
Follow The Sun - Or - How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Cell Animator
MK12's Shaun Hamontree takes us through their latest short film, "Follow The Sun", and discusses it's concept, execution and working with cell animator TJ fuller.
Along the way he'll discuss MK12's "boolean logic". A method they employ to arrive at unique ideas, loosely based on chaos theory.
Hamontree will also touch on the power of sound design and music to alter the perception of the viewer and sometimes change the narrative of a piece altogether.
