Hey, welcome, guys.

2
00:00:02.020 --> 00:00:06.300
So my name is Hjalti Hjalmarsson, and I am the Animation Director at Blender Studio.

3
00:00:07.060 --> 00:00:14.480
I just gave a talk at the 2024 Blender Conference, and it was shorter than I was

4
00:00:14.481 --> 00:00:17.640
hoping, because I didn't have enough time and I had so much material.

5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:24.900
So what I want to do now is make a way longer version of my talk, to dive a

6
00:00:24.901 --> 00:00:30.200
little bit deeper into all the different little things that I may have kind of

7
00:00:30.201 --> 00:00:33.403
touched upon in my talk, but here I have a little

8
00:00:33.404 --> 00:00:35.860
bit more real estate to go down the rabbit hole.

9
00:00:36.380 --> 00:00:42.260
As you may know, I've worked for 10 years now at the studio, and the point I want to

10
00:00:42.261 --> 00:00:47.000
make here is I've dabbled in a lot of different roles, and I'm going to be,

11
00:00:47.001 --> 00:00:50.740
for this talk, going to be talking mostly about layout and previs.

12
00:00:52.940 --> 00:00:56.920
However, it's a bit of a Venn diagram of skill sets that you start using.

13
00:00:56.921 --> 00:01:00.919
So for example, my background is animation, so that

14
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.620
will infer a lot of the stuff that I'm doing also.

15
00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:05.440
There's no way around that.

16
00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:11.720
I've done some cinematography and some directing and whatnot, and editing also.

17
00:01:12.740 --> 00:01:17.720
So I will always be touching upon those skill sets a little bit here and there,

18
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:23.460
but mostly this will just be revolving around a previs and layout.
