As we keep developing our films, we will continue sharing all the new resources we develop. We truly believe in the ascension of people. The art of filmmaking and animation has varying degrees of barriers for creators from different backgrounds and with different levels of access. However, what we’ve noticed over the years is that from a creative perspective, most creators have wonderful ideas. We truly believe that the world would be a better place if more of these projects were realized in a way that matches their desired effect.
We always push creators to think of an end-to-end approach. You know best what form your artwork should take, and the closer your result gets to that desired effect the more value it will have in the marketplace. From there you can continuously build up the leverage, audience and partnerships you need to sustainably develop your projects. Think win-win.
Corona has made it possible for me and the team to create the visuals we dream of making. The great thing is that the Corona community is very collaborative and highly passionate about learning and improving. We’ve been able to openly communicate about the challenges that we’ve been facing, and the Corona community is very quick to respond and bounce ideas off of each other. I’d also like to give a shout-out to the Corona team for adding new features and updates so frequently and consistently! Corona 3 was the first version I started using, and it has been truly amazing since then.
What I find wonderful about Corona is the look and feel of the renders. There truly is something special about the way it processes light and materials. However if I were to mention one feature that truly adds so much to our projects it has to be the Shutter Curve. As cinema is the art of moving pictures, there is often some form of motion blur present in an image. The Shutter Curve for motion blur has been incredibly useful in giving the image a subtle extra feel of realism. The aim is often to create something cinematic. And this also means we’re looking for that cinematic feel when looking at a still from a moving shot.
