BEING REALISTIC<\/h1>\n

TRINITY ANIMATION: BUILDING A NEW DIMENSION OF SUCCESS<\/h2>\n

Jim Lammers, and his firm, the Trinity\u00a0Animation Studio, nestled in a quiet business strip in Lee’s Summit (southeast of Kansas City) are\u00a0creating cartoon landscapes for prime-time cable television. Lee’s\u00a0Summit is certainly not the place one thinks of when cartoons are\u00a0on the mind. But Trinity and Lammers aren’t really doing a full\u00a0cartoon design; they provide the realistic world for the characters\u00a0of FX’s prime-time spy cartoon “Archer” to live and work.<\/p>\n

Lammers didn’t seek out the cartoon creators, despite\u00a0some earlier effects work they created for the film “Starship\u00a0Troopers.” “Archer” Co-Executive Producer Matt Thompson<\/a>\u00a0found Trinity Animation Studio on the Internet, and made a call to\u00a0Lammers that resulted in their lucky opportunity to work on a\u00a0new prime time cartoon that Atlantic Magazine later described\u00a0as “just might be the funniest show on television.”<\/p>\n

Lammers and his staff most often work on architectural projects,\u00a0marketing imagery for products, and technical animation to help illustrate products. “Locating our animation studio in Lee’s Summit was only a\u00a0small hindrance when we started in 1994. It’s not a problem at\u00a0all now -we have done work for companies all over the country\u00a0and even internationally.” Some of their clients have included\u00a0Kimball Office, Vista Productions, Burns & McDonnell and\u00a0McDonalds. “Most products can now be rendered in 3D to be\u00a0indistinguishable from a photograph. Even food marketing\u00a0imagery is often CG (computer generated). We just worked on a\u00a0pasta bowl project for a noodle company in Mauritius, an island\u00a0east of Africa. There really is a whole world of possible projects.”<\/p>\n

During high school and college, Lammers explored the world\u00a0of airbrushing and a focus on photorealism in art. 3D on\u00a0computers had barely started. “At Center High School in 1982,\u00a0we had an Apple II\u00a0and it could display 3D wireframes. But you\u00a0had to enter the points and connecting lines one by one. A friend\u00a0and I made a cube!” Lammers’ father bought him a computer at\u00a0that time, one he had to hand assemble and could use to learn simple programming. Lammers earned an\u00a0engineering degree from the University\u00a0of Missouri-Kansas City. He worked for\u00a0Rockwell International in California, but\u00a0eventually came home to the Kansas\u00a0City metropolitan area and not long after,\u00a0started Trinity Animation Studio.<\/p>\n

He expects software and computer\u00a0graphics processing to continue forging\u00a0toward the real-time approach like gamers\u00a0get to see in games such as “Call of Duty.”\u00a0“For Trinity, its about creating a reality,\u00a0but it still takes a great deal of time to\u00a0compute. Sometimes it takes hours for a\u00a0single image. But real time 3D visualization\u00a0is making major progress and in time I\u00a0think the end result will be a 3D scene in\u00a0which the end user is immersed.”<\/p>\n

Lammers is also a published author of\u00a0instructional books for aspiring 3D artists,\u00a0most recently with “Maya 5 Fundamentals”\u00a0in 2005. A new book on Google’s free Sketchup software is in the works. His animation studio also rents time on their large\u00a0collection of multi-CPU computers to\u00a0be used to crunch out other companies’\u00a0imagery when Trinity’s computational\u00a0needs are low. Finally, Trinity Animation\u00a0retails<\/a> the actual 3D software that is used\u00a0by other animators. ‘There are some\u00a0nice overlaps that help in many ways. We\u00a0can help our software customers with\u00a0tech support. And some render farm and\u00a0software customers hire us to create their\u00a0animation later.”<\/p>\n

Producer Neal Holman<\/a> says, “When you\u00a0start on a search, sometimes the destination\u00a0that you didn’t intend to go to brings about\u00a0happy luck. We just looked around the\u00a0Internet. The results in town for 3D animation studios\u00a0were sub par, or the ones that could do good\u00a0work asked for too much money. Trinity\u00a0Animation hit the price range we needed.\u00a0Jim and his staff are so nice and genuine,\u00a0plus they are fast at their job.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you start\u00a0on a search,\u00a0sometimes the\u00a0destination that you\u00a0didn’t intend to go\u00a0to brings about\u00a0happy luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Producer Neal Holman<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Animation Studios in Kansas City<\/h2>\n

Lammers says he doesn’t run a “gold-plated” production house, a term that refers to the many animation studios with law-office like lobbies and mahogany client suites. “I knew they needed quality and we were pleased to have a chance to meet their needs.” Holman says the beginning work was a Moscow office for one of the characters. Trinity’s lead artist turned around that work in less than a day, cementing future work.<\/p>\n

Producer Neal Holman’s team in Atlanta handles all character\u00a0work, outsourcing the backgrounds to Trinity. ”The associate\u00a0director and I will do research and sketches and then we send\u00a0key design elements to them. We e-mail reference photos,\u00a0textures, and storyboards. They build the environment and add\u00a0the furniture. We talk about lighting and how a camera moves\u00a0within it. The painterly effects are added down here.”
\nLammers says the team has all the “home” Archer sets saved\u00a0on the computer. They build new sets if the script calls for it.\u00a0“‘Archer’ has great dialogue and humor. It really is a testament\u00a0to FX. The writers have a lot of creative freedom and that\u00a0originality makes the show more interesting.”
\nHolman says the date to start the new season of “Archer” is January 27. “Sterling Archer is an unlikable guy, but the audience pulls for him. Everyone has that friend that you warn other friends about, but you still consider him your friend.” Holman says he looks forward to the continued relationship with Trinity Animation. ”They are an integral part of the process.” One new episode that stands out includes an interior of Cyril’s Asian-influenced dojo penthouse. Holman says, ”They gave us a virtual tour – a panoramic shot, just like the way a camera orbits around. We are going to give that a try a few more times in the second season.” Another challenging background by Trinity specifically will be a car chase through a rundown neighborhood in Brooklyn, requiring miles of unique cityscape and output to long, traveling perspective background plates. As usual, only a few days were allocated for the work. \u00a0“Just like a car chase, we move at a fast pace,” Holman says.<\/p>\n

\"Figure \"Alternate<\/p>\n

ISIS comptroller Cyril Figgis may not seem like the character to have\u00a0a cool and funky penthouse, but just wait until the second season of\u00a0‘Archer’ to see his Asian-inspired pad.<\/p>\n
