## Key Points:
– Simone Giampaolo’s lecture on the Animation Production Pipeline, specifically for 3D and 2D projects, was recently highlighted at the UK/UA Animation Lab.
– Discussion was held on various stages of the production process for both animation series and short films.
– Emphasis was placed on the importance of setting up a conducive pipeline and ensuring the team’s familiarity with it prior to pre-production.
– Giampaolo compared the differences between 2D and 3D (CG) pipeline processes.
– The essential role of effective communication within the team was underscored.
– The necessity of having a comprehensive review process was also discussed.
– The current shift towards remote work settings in the realm of animation was another significant talking point.
## Hot Take:
Time to Roll the Credits!
Think of an animation production pipeline as a recipe for your best cookies – miss a step, misuse an ingredient, or ignore the baking time, and your final product ends up flat as a pancake. Or even worse – CGI (comedy giggle incident) as in the case of a messed-up, not-so-funny 3D-project. And that’s what Mr. Simone Giampaolo, our favourite guinea pig of animation production, brought into discussion.
As Simone enlightens us about the trials and tribulations along the pipeline, it’s apparent that animation isn’t all rainbows, talking animals, and late-night pizza-fuelled brainstorming sessions. No siree! It’s setting up the pipeline (sounding more like plumbing work, isn’t it?), comparing 2D and 3D processes (like weighing the merits of traditional painting versus sculpting, while you’re color-blind), ensuring proper communication (WhatsApp, Telegram, smoke signals?), and running reviews (cue red marker).
Let’s not forget the new kid on the block: remote work, a concept that introverted animators are quietly rejoicing over. So, whether you’re an animation aficionado, a 3D devotee, or simply grinning over the beautiful chaos that is animation production, sit back and let Simone’s insights flood over you, finally letting you in on animation’s best-kept secrets!
Join us as we explore the pre-production process for series and short films, discussing aspects such as pipeline setup and team familiarization. Learn the distinctions between 2D and CG pipelines during different stages of production, as well as team communication strategies, review procedures, and remote work essentials. This informative lecture series, which also includes Q&A sessions, is scheduled for every alternate Wednesday afternoon (4pm UK time / 6pm Kyiv time). Our goal is to broaden your understanding of industry workings, effective project pitching, and self-promotion techniques, among other things. All lectures will be live-streamed on the LINOLEUM YouTube channel at the designated date and time. And don’t fret, as we will repost the viewing link on our social media channels before each lecture! The “UK/UA Animation Lab” project is organised with the funding support from the UK/UA Creative Partnerships programme, designed by the British Council and the Ukrainian Institute. This programme aspires to maintain and boost the collaborations that have evolved between UK and Ukrainian cultural organizations, forming part of or running alongside the UK/Ukraine Cultural Season 2022-2023.CATCHING THE LECTURES
