READ MOREAt Animatus this week, I’ll be testing out the workflow for production on a high definition cartoon. We don’t have an HD camera or VCR, so we’ll be working in conjunction with another production house for the final product. The trick is, at some point I’ll want to down-res it for standard television specs, too. […]
