This week we have a new lecture by our very own Nancy Beiman on the subject of color design for animation. Titled "The Wonderful World of Color Keys" (a play on the title of the classic early color TV program, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color), Nancy's talk will investigate the use of color in animated cartoons past and present, including examples from classic designers Maurice Noble, Jules Engel, Ken O'Connor, Ty Wong and current Sheridan students.
Of particular interest to some of you will be Nancy's examples from a beautiful recently published book, The Noble Approach, by Ted Polson, based on the design notes of Maurice Noble, featuring artwork from such classic Warner Bros cartoons as What's Opera, Doc?
In addition, given that your Leica reels are due in a week or so, I'll give a quick guide to recording a dialog scratch track using the resources available here at Sheridan, including the new high-quality, easy-to-use "Snowball" USB microphones that are availble for sign out.
Last but not least, the workshop this week will also be of interest to you as you design your film: A Character Design Critique by our own Peter Emslie. Bring your character designs to A150 for discussion, beginning at 4 pm (note the change of time!)
