Mkali’s Mission: Creating and collaborating at a distance

With remote work becoming the “new normal”, we put ourselves in the shoes of our customers by setting up a small “remote studio” to create a 3D sequence called Mkali's Mission. Join the panel of artists behind this project as they share the challenges and benefits of remote work, the tools that have facilitated collaboration such as Shotgun, and the learnings that have come out of this journey.
