Motion
Capture and Stop Motion
February, 2000
February is our annual
motion capture and stop motion issue. We have plenty in store as usual.
Sharon Schatz will interview Brian Nilles of leading motion capture
technology firm, Vicon 8. Gregory Singer will go behind the scenes
on one of the many projects which uses Vicon's technology, while Laura
Schiff will introduce us to Webbie Tookay, a new motion capture personality.
On the stop motion side of things, Wendy Jackson is going to cover
Aardman Animations' current high flying times as they work like mad
on Chicken Run and bask in a four picture deal with DreamWorks.
We will also check in on Henry Selick's new film Monkey Bone
and interview Ray Harryhausen.
In other stories we will remember Art Scott, a man that held significant
positions at a number of Hollywood studios from Disney to Bob Clampett
Productions. Jayanti Sen will also follow up with more information
regarding the current animation scene in India and we'll be treated
to another lesson from master artist Glenn Vilppu. Maureen Furniss
will return with "Fresh From the Festivals" and Karl Cohen
will take a closer look at those Spike and Mike festivals. Two books
will also be reviewed: Europe's Influence on Disney and CG
101.
