Case Study: Sony Pictures Imageworks accelerates stylized animation workflows with Foundry Nuke

Sony Pictures Imageworks streamlines 15-20 artist reviews with Foundry Nuke

Sony Pictures Imageworks (SPI) utilizes Foundry's compositing tool, Nuke, as a core part of its animation and visual effects pipeline. The studio's challenge is to create unique, stylized looks for its animated features efficiently and with the flexibility to iterate quickly during production.

Foundry's Nuke provides the solution, serving as SPI's primary compositing software. The tool makes production more efficient and offers the flexibility to create custom tools for each project. Features like Blink scripts, Python integration, and GPU support are instrumental. The result is a highly effective workflow that allows artists to iterate rapidly and make art-directed changes efficiently, contributing to the success of Oscar-nominated films like *Over the Moon* and *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse*.
