Escape Studios will host a two-day animation workshop presented by Andrew Gordon, who is Supervising Animator on Pixar's new short film PRESTO at Pixar Animation Studios.
During the two days Gordon will cover all aspects of character animation craft in extraordinary detail. He'll review the basic principles, staging and pose design as well as advanced techniques for gestures, face and hand animation. He'll also be demonstrating the high-level polishing techniques used to lift a shot from being good, to being great.
Gordon has been animating at Pixar for 11 years, during which time he has contributed character animation to nearly every major feature they've produced. On Academy Award winning film THE INCREDIBLES, Gordon spent the majority of his time animating Edna Mode, the beloved super hero costume designer character. He is currently working on TOY STORY 3.
The event is designed for both professional and student animators of any level, and the skills and techniques included are not software specific. The event will be held in London on Thursday July 10 and Friday July 11, 2008, and tickets are available through Escape Studios.
The cost is 300 pounds for the two days. It is recommend to book early. The master class will include a screening of Pixar's new short film PRESTO.
