Classical Animation
Ever wondered how animators bring characters to life through movement and performance? In this two-day intensive workshop, you’ll explore character motivation, body mechanics, poses, timing, and movement as you create your own animated run cycle. With guidance and feedback from animation professionals, you’ll develop your animation from initial blocking through refined performance and final polish. You’ll also add color, background panning, and technical cleanup to bring your shot together. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a fully completed, colored, portfolio-ready run cycle to showcase your skills.
