SUMMARY:The Pope's Dog
DESCRIPTION:Computer Animation Festival\n\nThe Pope's Dog\n\nPilarcik-Tell
 ez, Pilarcik-Tellez, Tody\n\nThe film faced the challenge of crafting volu
 metric lighting onto 2D animation, a technique inspired by SPA Studios’ fe
 ature film Klaus. The team of students at SCAD Animation Studios had to cr
 eate a streamlined pipeline as well as custom tools with limited time and 
 resources.\n\nThe pipeline was structured around Toon Boom Harmony for cle
 an-up, and The Foundry’s Nuke for lighting and compositing. In Harmony, ar
 tists cleaned up the animation and created masks for every overlapping sha
 pe, so lighting artists could work more efficiently later. \n\nA completel
 y custom 2D lighting toolset for Nuke, called “Pantheon”, was built specif
 ically for this film. With Pantheon, lighting artists could draw and anima
 te up to ten custom light passes, with each pass fully controllable in col
 or and opacity. Each shape of light and shadow was manually hand drawn and
  animated using roto-shapes. This toolset also had to be simple enough to 
 use so that students who were unfamiliar with Nuke could easily pick it up
 .\n\nThe visual development team was also heavily integral in the process.
  Background paintings and color scripts had to be created prior to lightin
 g, so that lighting artists could use the color scripts as reference to in
 tegrate the characters into the background. \n\nHaving been created during
  the pandemic, this was a fully remote production bringing together SCAD s
 tudents from around the world with most living in either Asia and North Am
 erica. Through careful planning and collaboration, the students were able 
 to bridge the continents and time zones to craft this film. \n\nWith “The 
 Pope’s Dog”, SCAD Animation Studios shows that innovative techniques which
  push the boundaries of 2D animation can be achieved at the student level.
