Animation Dingle is a 2-day Festival for animation industry experts and students, taking place each March in the iconic fishing town of Dingle in Ireland.

The festival sees a return to in-person events for it's 11th year, and is scheduled to take place from March 24th - 25th 2023. Brown Bag Films are delighted to be sponsoring the festival again this year and excited to dive into all things animation in one of our favourite locations.

We're also very happy to share that our Dublin studio Lead Character Modeller, Darko Mitev, will be providing a 2-hour long workshop on 'Creating Cinematic Renders using Unreal Engine 5'.

Darko is a Lead Character Modeller at our Brown Bag Films Dublin studio. He's worked professionally in the VFX and animation industry for over 10 years, on numerous projects throughout his career including Butterbean's Café, Vampirina, Angela's Christmas Wish, Ridley Jones, and Karma's World.

A selection of Darko's artworks have been featured on 3DTotal and you can see more of his impressive personal work on his website: darkomitev.com.

In his Animation Dingle workshop: 'Creating Cinematic Renders using Unreal Engine 5', Darko will go over how to use Unreal Engine to create cinematic renders with really high fidelity. The workshop will cover the strengths and weaknesses of real time rendering, integrating Maya and Unreal into a smooth pipeline, and will focus on mood, composition and storytelling. As a bonus, Darko will also be showing how he is using Unreal Engine to speed up the work on the short film that he's currently developing, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes and previews of his project.
