Thanks everyone again for coming out last night to see Hinge Digital and The Foundry show us the goods.\u00a0 I have the usual blurry iPhone pics to prove it!<\/p>\n

Mariana from The Foundry sure knows her stuff, and it was good to get the low down on Katana and a snapshot of Deep Compositing using openEXR 2 renders in Nuke.<\/p>\n

And what can I say about Hinge?\u00a0 Incredible.\u00a0 Unprecedented.\u00a0 The Hinge Digital troops brought a big platter of awesome to show and dropped science like Galileo dropped the orange.\u00a0 I can only speak for myself here, but I have never, EVER in my days seen such an in depth breakdown of a project – detailing the process from inception through execution. \u00a0This was like a Bobby Knight basketball clinic, without any chair throwing.<\/p>\n

I especially liked seeing the previz and storyboards come to life from infancy to fully realized renders.\u00a0 Heck, I even worked on this project and was with them for the bulk of it, and I didn’t realize how much prep and hard work went into selling the designs and story.\u00a0 My head is spinning just as much as yours!\u00a0 They have a knack for cheating the gremlins and don’t let any problem stand in the way of delivering great results.\u00a0 It was also great to get the Hinge partners’ unique take on the Portland scene and how they’ve navigated the waters the past 3 years.\u00a0 I can’t applaud them enough for giving this presentation and I think we all expect big things going forward from the Hinge crew!<\/p>\n
