Preparation • Format • Topics Covered

All students enrolling in the Intensive One-Week Character Animation Immersive Workshop should be aware that this is an introductory course. The limitation of a one-week course should be apparent, given that many people spend years studying and perfecting their craft.

PREPARATION

A basic understanding of how to use computers is recommended. No previous Maya experience is necessary, but is beneficial.

Students come out with a ten second animation clip for their demo reel.

FORMAT

This class focuses on performance and acting as the heart and soul of the animator’s craft. Students work with pre-rigged characters to learn Maya’s character animation toolset. Using a ten second found sound file students explore various acting styles and test animation techniques used by Warner Bros. Disney and Pixar.

ANIMATION TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE

  • The strength of the pose
  • Line of action
  • Body mechanics
  • The benefits and dangers of live action reference footage
  • Intro to lip sync (basics only)
    • BACK TO TOP
