Case Study: Light Chaser Animation brings White Snake to life with Foundry Katana

Light Chaser Animation brings White Snake to life in a one-movie-a-year pipeline with Foundry

Light Chaser Animation, a Beijing-based animation studio, faced the challenge of significantly improving the visual quality and production efficiency of its films to meet rising audience demands, all within the same tight production cycle. To navigate the increased complexity of its most ambitious project, White Snake, the studio turned to vendor Foundry and its lighting tool, Katana.

Foundry's Katana provided a powerful solution, enabling efficient complexity management and collaboration. It allowed data to flow seamlessly through the pipeline, freeing artists to focus on creative work. The solution helped Light Chaser complete lighting on schedule and, for the first time, render an entire film using lighting AOVs, resulting in their most visually compelling and critically acclaimed film to date.
