I can't believe I already half way into my animation program!!! This has been an amazing experience and it just gets better and better!!
This class is not about how to move a character. I know the principles and how to apply them into the actions of the character. Now is time to give a real life, story, background, personality to the character. This will be done in two assignments: a pantomime and lip sync projects over 12 weeks.
This term my mentor is Erik Morgansen. He's been working in animation for 13 years. Most recently he worked at
Disney on Meet the Robinsons, and from that point until now at ILM on
such films as the Transformers movies, Star Trek, Avatar, and Rango. Amazing!! Isn't he??
So, bring it on Fall 2012!!
