Today on the befores & afters podcast, we’re chatting with Jon Mason, who is the co-founder and CEO of Slapshot, an AI-powered VFX toolkit. The kinds of things you can do with Slapshot right now include AI roto and generative retiming. They’re also working on camera tracking and depth maps. Slapshot hails from the team behind Hotspring, which is a platform for connecting VFX artists to carry out tasks like roto, comp and tracking.
With Slapshot now out there, I wanted to find out what development was involved in the tool, how an artist or studio can get their hands on it, and what else the tool was looking to solve in the future. Jon outlines a bunch of those things in our chat.
Listen in above, and check out some behind the scenes, here.
