Foundry invites you to their event

Collaboration and Organization: Keys for successful story development with Rodeo FX

About this event

Flix is a story development tool that allows for fast-paced collaboration by removing technical barriers and connecting creative, editorial and production departments.

When gearing up for their first independent animation CANARY, Rodeo FX decided to use Flix as their central network for story development. Hear from Director Benoit Therriault and Editor Guillaume Poulin about why they knew they needed Flix for the project and how they were able to quickly iterate on ideas, increase communication, and get editorial involved in the earlier stages.

Foundry’s Creative Specialist DJ Matias will also join the session to give a quick tour of Flix and show you the process of setting up a project, making revisions to exporting, as well as publishing to editorial. DJ will also highlight features introduced in Flix 6.4 and share some Python-based tools that will add additional functionality to Flix such as:

  • Sending 3D Renders from Blender or Maya directly to Flix
  • Integrating Flix with Foundry Timeline Products Like Hiero
  • Integrating Flix to work with Shot Managers like Shotgrid or fTrack and more

    Benoit Therriault Director @ Rodeo FX

    Benoit “Ben” Therriault was born with a pencil in his hand and a cap on his head. His passion for storytelling found an outlet in comic books and filmmaking until he discovered the process of animation. With his storyboarding and design skills, he became a creative force at Shed Studios where he met PH. Together they became the dynamic Director duo known as Ben&PH. Featured at the Annecy International Film Festival (Share The Joy, IGA; Vraiment Frais, IGA; Aide Gourmet, IGA). Other accolades include Vimeo Staff Picks (Share The Joy), an Honourable Mention at the Queen Palm International Film Festival (LottoMax Bear), and a CREA Award (MSSS Smoke). Their short-circuited but notable attempt at making the short film Outside in 2016 led them to a better home, RodeoFX and an even better film: “CANARY”!
