The Hotseat returns for 2027!

Join us as we challenge our contestants to create a functioning animation set & implementation live - it's a little bit gameshow, a little bit art & a lot of fun.

Takeaway

You will see animation and systems assembled at ludicrous speed, with a high level overview of what an animation pipeline looks like. We'll also be constantly interrupting the participants with questions and challenges, which we are sure they will love.

Intended Audience

Everyone! Come on down to watch the the high pressure artistic brilliance leading to something that may end up being actually playable! Bring your serious and irreverent questions for animators & designers so we can pester and distract them at every turn.
