Modernizing the 3D Animation Pipeline for Major Studios with Peer Lemmers | Marionette Masters

How does a veteran animator behind blockbusters like Jurassic World, King Kong, and Rise of the Guardians view the rapidly changing landscape of 3D animation? In this episode of Marionette Masters, founder T. Thore Ipsen sits down with Peer Lemmers, senior animator with decades of experience at world-renowned studios including DreamWorks, Sony Imageworks, and Tippett Studio. Peer shares the pivotal moment he decided to pursue animation after watching Peter Jackson’s King Kong and discusses his transition from 2D techno music videos to leading creature animation on major franchises. He dives into his philosophy on being "in the zone," why he prioritizes life experience over technical tools, and how the industry’s shift toward shorter production cycles is impacting creative output. From the "pencil tip" lesson that shaped his workflow to his take on why AI isn't the primary reason for industry layoffs, Peer provides a masterclass in the craft and professional reality of a high-level animator.
