Our February issue will look at both the oldest
and the newest forms of 3-D animation: the art of stop-motion and the technology
of real-time motion capture. Heikki Jokinen is journeying to Estonia to
capture the 40th anniversary of the studio Nukufilm. Karen Raugust will
reveal the minds behind Wallace and Gromit's licensing and marketing success
while Barry Purves will give us his opinion on the state of the stop-motion
industry. Also, have you ever watched a stop motion film and thought, "What
did they use to do that?" Next month we will tell you some of our
favorites from the big names of stop-motion. Medialab is going to lead
us step by step through the high-tech world of motion capture. Plus, some
thoughts on the theoretical issues raised by motion capture will be discussed
by Gregory Peter Panos, founding co-director of the Performance Animation
Society. As an added bonus, two pioneers from both fields will sit down
to a dinner conversation.
This month's Student Corner is an article for which we know people have
been waiting. Tom Brierton will discuss how to make armatures and where
to get the necessary supplies.
NATPE will also be reviewed as will Karl Cohen's new book Forbidden
Animation: Censored Cartoons and Blacklisted Animators. This issue
will also include a very special feature. Revered Disney greats, Frank
Thomas and Ollie Johnston will discuss Pierre Lambert's book Pinocchio.
Max Sims will also introduce Maya, Alias/Wavefront's anticipated new 3-D
software.
