I was lucky enough to be one of the senior animators on the aicp brand system concepted by the mill. I was brought in to knock out the next awards intro and outro and the sponsor reel with James isaaks, using a combo of motion design and style transfer techniques with stock footage as the source to help bring these amazing original paintings to life. as quoted from the mill “this technique pairs motion with a style, or texture and is then run through a system to interpret the motion and the machine tries to retain the original texture through each clip”.
