Education
Learn Acting For Animation From Barry Purves! Master animator Barry
Purves will be teaching Acting for Animation at the Museum of the Moving
Image in London. The class takes place from Saturday, July 10 to Sunday, July
11, from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm both days. Barry Purves is one of the world's
leading stop-motion puppet animators. He began his career at Cosgrove Hall
Productions working on such programs as The Wind In The Willows. Since then
Barry has gone on to write, direct, and animate several award-winning films:
Next (1989), Screen Play (1992), Rigoletto (1993), and
Gilbert & Sullivan (1998). In 1995 he worked on Tim Burton's
Mars Attacks, and completed several minutes of stop-motion footage before
the decision was made to go with CGI. Nevertheless, the Martians in the final
film are based on the acting and characterization developed in the footage
completed by Barry. Moreover, Tim Burton has described Barry's footage done
for Mars Attacks as "very beautiful." In addition to his
film career, Barry teaches and holds workshops regularly at such places as
The Royal College of Art, Manchester University, The National Film and Television
School, and other colleges throughout the world. Only 15 spaces are available,
so it is essential that you call as soon as possible to book a space. For
