The Power of Learning Katana for Lighting

About this event

Join Taeyoung Kim, a Senior Lighting and Look Dev Artist at Sony Pictures Imageworks whose film credits include: Vivo, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Smallfoot, as he shares his experience using Katana, not only as an artist but also as a teacher at the Langara Center of Entertainment Arts.

During this webinar, Taeyoung will discuss how Katana's sequence-based workflow and its ability to create shared tools and templates enables artists to work efficiently. Taeyoung will share one of his Katana scripts, favorite tricks, and insight on using Katana for live action and animation projects. Taeyoung will also explain the value of learning Katana and highlight several of his students success stories.
