Me ke kōkua o koʻu kaikunāne, makemake nui i ka polokalamu 3D, ua hoʻokumu mākou i ka Dream Farm Studios, me ka manaʻo e hiki ke hana i nā moʻolelo maikaʻi aʻe a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka pukaaniani o koʻu wā kamaliʻi.

ʻEhia ka poʻe e hana nei ma ke keena i kēia manawa?

ʻO ka hauʻoli e komo i ka honua o ka hana hoʻoulu ʻana, ua loaʻa iā mākou kā mākou papahana hoʻolālā mua i ka makahiki 2011 me ʻelima mau mea pena kiʻi, ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou he mau hoaaloha a mākou i ʻike ai. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻo kā mākou kūpaʻa i ka maikaʻi ʻo ia ka nui o nā mea kūʻai aku e hele mai ana, no laila ua ʻike mākou i ka pono e hoʻonui i kā mākou limahana i loko o ka hale e hana i nā papahana koʻikoʻi. Loaʻa iā mākou kahi hui paʻa o 110 poʻe. Eia nō naʻe, loli kēlā helu ma muli o kā mākou huahana, i kekahi manawa piʻi ma kahi o 200 ma muli o ka papahana.

ʻAuhea kāu keʻena poʻo ʻoihana a he aha nā mea hana animation āu e hoʻohana ai?

Loaʻa i kā mākou studio animation nā keʻena hana ma Polani a me Kanada (Toronto). Hoʻokumu kā mākou hui o nā mea pena kiʻi honua i nā animation 2D a me 3D e kōkua i kā mākou poʻe e hoʻonui i kā lākou mau moemoeā a hiki i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe.

Hoʻohana mau mākou i nā polokalamu maʻamau a me ka honua-acclaimed a me nā plug-ins e like me Autodesk Maya, Pixologic ZBrush, SideFX Houdini, The Foundry Mari, Allegorithmic Substance Designer and Painter, Adobe Photoshop, Solid Angle (Autodesk) Arnold, Peregrine Labs Yeti a me Maxon Redshift .

He aha kāu e ʻōlelo ai e hoʻokaʻawale ai i ka Dream Farm i ke kahua o ka hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū?

Manaʻo wau ʻo ka mea e ʻokoʻa ai kā mākou studio animation ʻo ko mākou noʻonoʻo no ka ʻimi ʻana i nā moʻolelo i ʻike ʻole ʻia a ʻike ʻole ʻia ʻaʻole i loaʻa ko lākou ala i ka animation. ʻIke mākou i ka animation ʻaʻole wale ma ke ʻano he ʻano leʻaleʻa, akā he mea hiki ke hoʻonui i ka ʻike o ke kanaka a me ke ao pohihihi a mākou e noho nei. ʻO kahi mea aʻu e makemake ai e ʻike hou aʻe i ka animation ʻo ia nā papahana e kōkua i ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā manaʻo moʻomeheu stereotypical e pili ana i ke kaiāulu ʻeleʻele. Ma kekahi o kā mākou papahana hou, ua loaʻa iā mākou ka manaʻo e hoʻoikaika i ke kaiāulu ʻeleʻele ma nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā hiʻohiʻona o ke kamaʻilio ʻana, e hopu ana i nā ʻāpana o ke ʻano o ke ola pilikino a hui pū ʻia e nā hoʻoholo a ke kanaka a i ʻole ke kaiāulu. ʻO ka hopena, ua hui pū mākou me McBath Media a me Tri Destined Studios ma kahi moʻolelo TV animated 3D pili i ka ʻohana e pili ana i kahi ʻohana ʻApelika-ʻAmelika.

Ua makemake nā mea nāna i hana i kēia hōʻike, ʻo CJ McBath lāua ʻo C Wright, e hōʻike i nā manaʻo like ʻole o kahi ʻohana ʻAmelika ʻAmelika a me ke ʻano o ko lākou ʻano like akā ʻokoʻa i nā ʻano o ke ola me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka honua animated o ka platform. He epic ka huakaʻi o nā kiʻi ʻeleʻele i ka animation. Hoʻohanohano kēia papahana i kēlā huakaʻi ma ka lawe ʻana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka paʻakikī i nā kiʻi, nā ʻāpana a me nā kiʻi.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi iā mākou e pili ana i kekahi o kāu mau papahana nui ʻē aʻe?

I ka hihia o 2D animation, ua hui pū mākou me nā mea kūʻai aku maikaʻi loa. ʻO ka hopena o Iulai 2020 i ka wā i hoʻopili mai ai ʻo Austin Ranson Khemraj, ka mea kākau a me ka mea nona ka Austin Art Productions, e hana i nā pōkole animated 2D. ʻO Austin, ka mea i paʻi i nā puke he nui, ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mau mea e pili ana i nā keiki, ua hele mai me ka manaʻo e hoʻohuli i nā puke i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni 2D CGI animated pōkole a ʻo ka puke mua kahi i hoʻokō ʻia ai ka hoʻolālā. Waimaka o Tucano.

No ke kaʻina hana animation, ua hāʻawi ʻo Austin i kekahi mau kuhikuhi animation i kūpono i kāna ʻike no ka papahana. No ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i nā kuhikuhi a me ke aʻo ʻana i nā ʻano kūpono, ua koho mākou i ke ʻano hana hoʻonaninani lima-a-frame. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, e loaʻa i ka animation kona manawa i nā ʻahaʻaina animation honua a Waimaka o Tucano ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia hui ʻana.

ʻO kā mākou papa inoa o nā mea kūʻai aku ʻo Firefox, Cambridge University Press, DISH Network, Flare Games, a me Macbeth Media.

Loaʻa iā ʻoe ke kākoʻo aupuni no kāu mau papahana?

ʻAʻole hoʻohana a noi ʻole kā mākou hui i kekahi kālā aupuni. Eia nō naʻe, ke hana nei ʻo Canada i ka hana wikiwiki, koʻikoʻi a hoʻoholo e kākoʻo i ka poʻe Kanada a me nā ʻoihana e kū nei i nā pilikia ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19. Manaʻo wau he mea pono no mākou e hoʻohana i ke kākoʻo aupuni i ka wā e hiki mai ana.

He aha kāu manaʻo ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i kēia lā?

Ua ʻike ka ʻumi makahiki i hala i ka piʻi nui o ka ulu a me ka waiwai o ka mākeke o ka ʻoihana animation. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei au ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kaumaha o ka ʻoihana animation, ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi o ka wehewehe ʻana i nā IP e hoʻonui i ka loaʻa kālā kope. Ke hoʻolālā nei mākou i kēia manawa e hoʻomohala a loaʻa i kā mākou IP no nā lawelawe like ʻole, e like me nā kiʻi a me nā moʻolelo, e hoʻoikaika i nā IP ma 2021 a ma waho. Eia hou, ke hana nei kā mākou hui R&D i ka pāʻani pāʻani pāʻani e alakaʻi a hoʻoulu i ka animation a me nā studio pāʻani a puni ka honua.

Pehea ʻoe i hoʻololi ai i ka studio i nā kūlana paʻakikī o ka maʻi maʻi a me ka wā home?

Manaʻo wau ua hōʻike kēia maʻi maʻi iā mākou a pau ʻaʻole pono e kaʻana like i ka wahi kino no ka holomua ʻana i nā papahana ma ke ʻano o ka hana animation, akā i loko o kahi ʻano hana hoʻomohala hoʻomohala hohonu, ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi papahana e neʻe nei i ka wikiwiki awelika ua hōʻike i ka paʻakikī i kahi. ʻoiaʻiʻo COVID-19. I kēia manawa, hana ka hapa nui o kā mākou limahana i ka ʻoluʻolu o ko lākou mau home e hōʻoia i ko lākou olakino a maikaʻi hoʻi kā mākou mea nui i nā manawa paʻa. I ka hopena, ua lawe mākou i kekahi manawa e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka mālama ʻana i nā papahana ma kahi mamao, akā mai ia manawa ua neʻe ka hapa nui o kā mākou papahana me ka ʻike ʻole ʻia.
