This Week: Focus on Character Animation & Acting with Stephen Barnes and Mike Kitchen

This week the focus is on Acting and Character Animation, with two great guests: our own Stephen Barnes, (mentor , animator, director, Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life,Monsters, Inc., and Geri's Game)  and Mike Kitchen, (lately of Toonbox & Starz, animator of The Nut Job, ‘ 9'  and Hellboy.)

Steve will take over the lecture on Wednesday morning, (11 am, S235), with a new installment of his talk "Inspired Acting PART 2: A Study of Great Moments From Great Actors,"  while Mike will apply his animation eye to review and critique your own character animation in the afternoon workshop, ( 2-4 pm in Lab A150.)

With 100 percent of your rough animation due in two weeks (2D projects), 20 percent of your final animation (Stop Motion projects) and key character poses (3D projects), this is the ideal time to refine your character animation and acting skills. For the workshop, remember to bring your work-in-progress in an easily viewable format such as a Quicktime file on a memory stick. Be sure to take advantage of the presence of these two great animators at Sheridan on Wednesday.
