Case Study: MPC achieves scalable, efficient lighting workflows with Foundry Katana

MPC scales lighting to thousands of shots with Foundry Katana

MPC, a major visual effects company, faced the challenge of managing immense complexity across thousands of shots for a high-profile film. They needed a lighting pipeline that was both scalable for a massive project and granular enough to provide detailed artistic control on a per-shot basis. To meet this challenge, they utilized Foundry's Katana software.

Foundry's solution was Katana, a node-based lighting and look development tool. It provided MPC with a highly scalable and efficient pipeline, enabling a smaller team of artists to manage hundreds of shots with minimal setup time. The results included a significant reduction in manual work and margin of error, along with the ability to make non-destructive updates and achieve granular control at the shot level, ultimately leading to a successful project delivery.
