The real-time revolution

Blue Zoo is embracing real-time technology to turbo-charge the creative process for animated storytelling. Far from just fast renders, the technology births a revolution in collaborative workflows which will define the next decade of animation.

Tom Box is co-founder and joint managing director of Blue Zoo Animation. Over the last 19 years, the studio has grown to become the biggest dedicated CG animation studio in the UK, picking up a few BAFTAs along the way. Tom has been the driving force behind the studio's continuous exploration of new technology, experimenting with cutting-edge tools to see how they can improve animation workflows and facilitate artists creativity.
