ABSTRACT
The SparkShorts program at Pixar Animation Studios allows for directors to try new and different looks. Our short, Twenty Something is a 2d, hand-drawn animated film. When the pandemic forced all of our artist to work from home, we scrambled to create a workflow for managing, sharing, and reviewing 2d assets. While we have a long history of collaborating on 3d films, we did not have a solution for 2d imagery.
We created a cloud-based pipeline based around on-premises bucket storage, microservices, and event-driven workflows. The result was Toontown, a suite of technologies that allowed our artists to complete Twenty Something working from home.
