FAIGIN FACE BLOG : "THANOS" Artist Interview

2018 mega-blockbuster, "Avengers : Infinity War" represents a breakthrough in #CG animation. I interviewed Jan Philip Cramer, Head of Animation at Digital Domain in Vancouver, to learn how his #modeler, #rigger & #animator team--using a unique combination of #Mocap and #machine learning--created "Thanos," an impressive all-digital leading man, who carried the film for 40 minutes of screen time. What does this technical feat mean to #CG animators worldwide? Check out my November blog to learn why #CG artists are still key to the creation of convincing digital characters.
