Cantina Creative Preflight Tool

Long known for their shiny FUI design seen in nearly every Marvel film, attention to detail is a core tenant of Cantina Creative's work.

The strict requirements of Cantina’s high-end vfx and production clients mean that deliveries need to fulfill not only creative needs but follow specific technical guidelines as well.

To help ensure these guidelines were met, Cantina asked lovatt to develop a custom After Effects tool to ensure these guidelines were met.

Cantina Creative

To achieve this, we decided the best path forward was a "pre-flight" tool that Cantina's artists would run prior to rendering.

This tool would run a series of technical tests on the project, making sure that each component Cantina was compliant with a variety of common issues.

Beyond this, we decided to add in a mechanism that would try to automagically fix the issues it found, hoping to relieve some of the frustrating an artist would face having a tool yell at them to eat their vegetables. Sorry, artists.
