From senior roles at Animal Logic to directing the 'Frog Kingdom' franchise, Alex's expertise shines. As a key speaker at SIGGRAPH Asia 2023, join us in exploring his impactful journey, from 'Peter Rabbit' to the award-winning horror film 'Prank.' Uncover the depth of Alex's influence in the animation and film industry, and don't miss this chance to witness his creativity at SIGGRAPH Asia 2023! Fox Renderfarm, recognized as a leading cloud rendering service provider and render farm in the industry, took pride in sponsoring this significant event and engaging in an interview with Alex Weight.Partake in this enlightening interview as we delve into the artistic odyssey of Alex Weight, unveiling the unique qualities that distinguish him from the rest.Alex Weight, writer & director & senior roles across animation and VFXFox Renderfarm: Your career in animation and VFX spans over three decades, which is truly impressive. Could you share with us what inspired you to pursue this field and how you got started?Alex Weight: Sure, I grew up in an artistic family. My parents were both artists, so was always exposed to art from a young age. I went to a Japanese school for my early years and watched and read a lot of Manga comics that I fell in love with. At first, I thought I wanted to pursue 2D animation, but after finishing Art school and getting a job as an in-betweener, I didnt enjoy it as much as I thought. So I went back to college and studied computer animation to transfer those skills. My first job was animating logos for commercials at a small production house. There werent many places that were producing animation in Sydney back in the early 90s.Fox Renderfarm: How has your international experience influenced your approach to creativity and storytelling in animation?Image from Frog Kingdom 4, directed by Alex WeightAlex Weight: It has helped a lot. Traveling helps you become aware of different styles and ways of Storytelling. The biggest difference I saw was when I started working with an Animation Studio in China (Shenzhen). I had to learn different ways of telling stories through body language and movement, as many of the tropes we rely on in the West dont work globally. It was an exciting challenge to learn these new techniques. It has since helped me create my work with a more universal approach. Fox Renderfarm: In your experience, how have you seen the animation and VFX industry evolve over the past decade, especially in terms of technology and creative approaches?Alex Weight: Absolutely. Even more so over the last few years. It feels like new software and tech comes out almost monthly nowadays. It's very exciting. The biggest change I have seen is the ability to create content faster, with less technical skill. Years ago, animation was as technical as it was creative. That has changed now, so it allows Animators to focus more on the performance and creativity of their shots, rather than spending hours wrestling with technical issues. This same thing has occurred across other departments as well. Corrupted © UTS Animal Logic Academy Fox Renderfarm: Following on, with more than 25 years of experience in the industry, how do you see the animation industry evolving in the next 5-10 years? Do you think cloud rendering services play a vital role in it?Alex Weight: AI is obviously the big thing we are all keeping our eye on. There is potential to really shake up the way we create Animation. Or, it could simply be a tool that helps us work more efficiently. The scope and capability havent quite been worked out yet. But I can see it having a big impact on the industry over the next 5-10 years. Hopefully, it takes over even more of the technical component and allows the artists to continue to focus on the creative.Hardware is changing just as quickly. So is the cost of running render farms. Plus, many studios are now moving into a hybrid model with artists working on the same project from all over the world. All these things mean that running a localized render farm will become more expensive and harder to run. I imagine more and more studios will move to a cloud rendering service before long. Fox Renderfarm: The animation film 'Frog Kingdom 3 & 4', in which you served as both the writer and director, is very remarkable. Could you share with us what you consider to be the most important factors to consider when creating a compelling story for an animated film or TV show?Image from Frog Kingdom 4, directed by Alex WeightAlex Weight: I think the most important thing to consider when writing in general - regardless of whether it's for film or animation - is to have stories and characters that are relatable. Themes that are universal. When we came up with the story for Frog Kingdom 4, we wanted to have something that children everywhere could relate to - A child who has expectations put on them by their parents to be responsible, yet they dream of doing something wild and exciting. This theme would work if it was portrayed by humans, or in this case, frogs. I think if your story can work across different styles and genres, then you have something that will resonate with your audience. Fox Renderfarm: What is your creative process when working on a project, and how do you ensure that your vision is realized on screen? Is there any pipeline that you usually use? Alex Weight: I used to be involved in pipeline discussions, but I have to say I dont do much anymore. Its not up to me to tell people how to work. Just to look at the big picture. That being said, the standard USD-based pipeline seems to be the one that is becoming more popular nowadays and works well. For my process, after writing the script, I like to spend a lot of time with storyboards. Working with boards is the best way to save time and money in the long run. Making story changes once people are animating, or even lighting is hugely expensive. It always happens, but it's best to minimize it. This is why it's very important to do as many iterations as possible with the storyboards where it is faster and cheaper. Fox Renderfarm: Given the rapid pace of technological change, how do professionals stay abreast of the latest developments in hardware and software that impact animation and VFX? Are there specific forums or communities that are particularly valuable for staying informed?© SIGGRAPH Asia 2023Alex Weight: There is so much information online at the moment its almost impossible to stay across it all. I have to admit that I dont spend as much time reading up on technology as I used to. I tend to read through LinkedIn, as generally all the big announcements and technological advancements turn up there. Then I can do a deep dive into a topic after I discover it there. Apart from that, attending events like SIGGRAPH is the best way to stay on top of the trends in the industry.Fox Renderfarm: Real-time rendering and interactive experiences are gaining prominence. How do you see these trends shaping the future of animation and VFX, and what challenges or opportunities do they present for content creators?Alex Weight: The line between real-time animation and feature/VFX animation is getting more blurred every year. They used to be two very separate industries with specific skill sets. Now, if you are an animator or modeler, theres almost no difference. Engines like UE5 can render high poly assets in real time. People at home can create feature-level content using these engines by themselves, to a level that would have taken teams of people in the past. It's an exciting time, as it means we are getting stories and content created by minorities and voices that havent been heard before in mainstream media.Fox Renderfarm: What is your approach to managing a project from start to finish, and how do you ensure that the project is delivered on time and within budget?Alex Weight: Phew, that's a big question. How long have you got? I would love to take credit, but when you talk about productions at a large scale there are so many people involved that help the project get delivered on time, it's simply not up to just one person. From my side, the thing I can say that has the biggest impact on the delivery of a project is spending the right amount of time and budget on pre-production. Every time I have seen big delays in projects, I believe that (for the most part) they could have been avoided if there was more time spent upfront ensuring all the questions were answered before rushing into production. Its the most important thing to do for any project. Fox Renderfarm: What are the latest technological advancements in animation and VFX that you are excited about, and how do you see them impacting the animation and VFX production pipeline, or even the upcoming trends of the industry?Alex Weight: I think the biggest advancement we will see over the coming years will be the implementation of AI into current software. I dont believe that people will lose their jobs, but I do think that these advances will help artists create faster, and also give more opportunities for variations and alts. Fox Renderfarm: Throughout your career, are there any particular projects that hold a special place for you? Could you share some highlights and achievements that you are particularly proud of?Alex Weight: I think my favorite project was Legend of the Guardians Directed by Zack Snyder. I was the Animation Supervisor on that, and it was such a great experience. I still think the quality of animation in that film is amazing. We had to create owls that respected the movement and anatomy of the real creature but could perform and emote like characters. They balanced this line of real and stylized. The animators did a fantastic job of hitting this, and it still holds up today.Fox Renderfarm: Have you ever used cloud rendering services in your past projects? If so, could you share your experience with us and your thoughts on using cloud rendering services?Alex Weight: I havent personally, as I am removed from the technical side of rendering - I just get to see the final result. However, I believe that some of the companies I have worked with have used cloud rendering services. Especially the ones who have artists overseas. In those cases, being able to have an artist publish assets to a cloud service, and then have the render appear locally at the host company is a huge benefit. Whereas in the past they would have to upload the render to a FTP site, then we would have to download it etc.. which would take a huge amount of time. Cloud rendering manages this in a much more efficient way. Fox Renderfarm: For cloud rendering service providers like Fox Renderfarm, what advice do you have in terms of catering to the needs of animators and VFX artists? Alex Weight: For me, it comes down to ease of use and the interface. The ability to see what is being rendered on the farm, how long the renders are etc for both the artist and production. Once you get into the rendering side of things, the interface and interaction can get very complicated very quickly. Having this process be easy to use would be a huge help. Fox Renderfarm: Finally, as someone with a wealth of experience in the animation and VFX industry, what advice would you offer to individuals who are either aspiring to enter or just embarking on a career in these fields?ALA Retrospective © UTC Animal Logic AcademyAlex Weight: Follow your passion. For me, that is simply the best thing you can do. Know what it is you want to do, then do it as much as possible. As much as it is great to be a Generalist, you need to specialize in something. Be a holistic specialist. Look online and see what other people are doing, and enter competitions - The Rookies is a great place to join and try some of these out. And, if you want to specialize and learn what it's like to work in the industry, I teach a one-year accelerated Master's degree in Animation and Visualisation at the UTS Animal Logic Academy. We run the Academy like it's a studio. It's a lot of fun. Come join us! Thanks again to Alex Weight for accepting our interview!

    Fox Renderfarm Interview

    Swing to the Moon is a breathtaking animated short film that has captivated audiences at the esteemed SIGGRAPH 2023. Crafted by a group of seven students from the French school ESMA, this extraordinary graduation project tells a touching story that takes viewers on a journey as a determined little spider sets out on an enchanting adventure to capture the moon. As the industry's top cloud rendering service provider and leading render farm, Fox Renderfarm has also participated in SIGGRAPH 2023 and looked at this amazing project. We are honored to be able to interview this group of talented students from ESMA.Let's delve ino the fascinating journey behind Swing to the Moon and discover the creative process that led the talented Swing team to win the Best Student Project at SIGGRAPH 2023.Fox Renderfarm: Hi Swing team! Thank you so much for accepting our interview! Could you please introduce your team and your school ESMA to our readers?Swing team: Hi! Thank you for the invitation! We are a group of seven students from the French school ESMA, Marie Bordessoule, Adriana Bouissié, Nadine De Boer, Elisa Drique, Chloé Lauzu, Vincent Levrero, and Solenne Moreau. This school has multiple artistic formations including one on 3D animation and visual effects that we have done. We made Swing to the Moon during our last year of studies.Fox Renderfarm: Congratulations on winning the Best Student Project in SIGGRAPH 2023! How do you feel about it?Swing team: Thank you very much! It's crazy to see our little film come so far over the past year, to take part and win an award at SIGGRAPH. It's clearly not something we could have imagined and it's always hard to realize that it's being seen by people all over the world. It makes you happy and proud, of course, more than the recognition, it's being able to share our work with many people from so many different backgrounds that makes us so happy!Fox Renderfarm: Can you tell us about the inspirations behind your work "Swing to the Moon"? How did you come up with this idea?Swing team: During our third year each student had to write a short pitch for the next year's movies. In the end, among all the stories, six have been chosen by both the students and the professors. Elisa Drique wrote the first version and then we worked in a group to improve the story. We were inspired by Pixars short movie Piper and Minuscule, a French animated show on little bugs.Piper and Minuscule © Pixar Animation StudiosFox Renderfarm: This project was created by many students together. How did the collaboration process go? What roles were each member responsible for? Swing team: Creating Swing to the Moon involved seamless collaboration among our seven-member team. Responsibilities were divided based on individual strengths, specialties, and preferences. We were all involved in pre-production tasks, then we split between rig/animation - rigging made by Adriana, animation made by Adriana Solenne and Nadine - and rendering aspects - modeling/surfacing/FX/lighting/compositing made by Marie Elisa Chloé and Vincent. We also worked with a music student, Dorian Lehmann who composed the all score of the movie.Fox Renderfarm: Were there any specific films, books, artworks, or real-life events that inspired the story?Swing team: Not particularly, but it is certain that many things inspired us, indirectly or not, for the film. Like a lot of Pixar/Dreamworks movies which were a main reference for how emotions are shown in 3D animation.Fox Renderfarm: Why did you choose a spider as the main character? Could you share some insights into the visual references or inspirations that influenced your character design?Swing team: The story was based on the concept of a spider trying to catch the moon. We thought this was very poetic and original, so we chose to make the spider cute to fit in with the poetic aspect so that it wouldn't be terrifying. We all had a little furball in mind, but it was the input of everyone's ideas that led to this final design.Character Pre-production © ESMALittle Spider Temi Look Dev © ESMAFox Renderfarm: Why did you choose to leave a suspenseful and dramatic ending for the viewers?Swing team: We liked the ending with the little spider on the porthole in the first version of the scenario, and even though she is not literally on the moon, we agreed that she had achieved her objective.Still Frames © ESMAFox Renderfarm: How did you use colors, materials, and lighting setup to achieve the atmosphere in your work?Swing team: We decided to make the film with a macro photographic approach, always on the scale of the spider. Visually we tried to get close to reality while simplifying and magnifying nature in our sets. On the lighting side, at first it was kind of difficult to make it all by night because we really wanted to have strong diverses moods across the movie.Pre-production © ESMAFox Renderfarm: Could you please tell us about your pipeline for this work? And how long did it take you? Swing team: We used a regular Maya Pipeline with Ftrack to manage, review and get feedbacks on the movie. We spent about five months on preproduction and 9 months on production, so one year and a half from start to finish. Making Of © ESMAFox Renderfarm: What technologies and software tools were crucial in bringing your vision to life for this project?Swing team: We used Autodesk Maya for all the modeling, rigging, layout and animation. We used Maxon Zbrush for the sculpting, Adobe Substance Painter for the texturing and Xgen for the grooming. Pixars Renderman in Maya for the shading, lighting and rendering. We used SideFX Houdini and Blender for all the Fx and Nuke for the compositing. We also did some photogrammetry for some specific elements.Breakdown © ESMAFox Renderfarm: Are there any challenges that you encountered during the process of creation? If so, how did you overcome them?Swing team: Some of the main technical challenges were the simulated fur, the crowd of fireflies, achieve a believable macro and depth of field aspect. One of the hardest challenge was definitely to show the emotions of a spider with only two eyes and no mouth. We overcome these challenges with a lot of tries and researches.Pre-production © ESMAFox Renderfarm: Are there any moments you enjoyed during the creation process? And what was the most memorable?Swing team: We really loved working on the movie all along the year, we remember when we rendered our first shot animated, we were so happy all together seeing for the first time what the movie could look like.Pre-production © ESMAFox Renderfarm: Have you tried Fox Renderfarms services before? If so, how do you feel about Fox Renderfarms cloud rendering services? Swing team: At school we had a local render farm, and we haven't had a chance to try it out for ourselves yet!Fox Renderfarm: Are there any new ongoing projects or future plans that you would like to share with us?Swing team: Most of us are working on personal projects in parallel with our studio work, but there's nothing special planned, for the moment anyway!Thank you for the interview :) !Swing Teams Social Media:Swing Movie: https://www.instagram.com/swing.movie/Marie Bordessoule: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marie-bordessoule-8b8a731a3/Adriana Bouissié: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adriana-bouissi%C3%A9-69552b14a/Nadine De Boer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadine-de-boer-b5b3731a3/Elisa Drique: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elisa-drique/Chloé; Lauzu: https://fr.linkedin.com/in/chlozix/Vincent Levrero: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vincent-levrero/Solenne Moreau: https://www.linkedin.com/in/solenne-moreau/Pipeline credit:Autodesk MayaAutodesk Maya XgenPixars RendermanAdobe Substance PainterMaxon ZbrushSideFX HoudiniBlenderFoundry NukeBacklight Ftrack
