Two events focusing on Acting & Performance in animation

To assist you with the coming Action Analysis and Performance Milestone, this week we have two events focusing on Acting & Performance in animation.  

Wednesday 11 am S235 - Stephen Barnes, Inspired Acting: A Study of Great Moments From Great Actors

First up is the Wednesday lecture, where Sheridan's Stephen Barnes will offer his insights into acting as applied to animation. Stephen does this in a way that might be new to you - carefully studying the subtle cues used by actors in live-action film and television. Steve's talk is essential viewing. It's also very entertaining, as Steve peppers the talk with many fascinating and unusual film clips.

Wednesday 2 pm, A361 (4th Year Studio, Video Area) - Using Video Reference for Animation

This is followed at 2 pm by an introduction to the Video Reference system that we have set up in the 4th Year studio. Stephen Barnes is again in charge, showing us the basic usage of video reference for animation. It would be great to have someone perform a character action scene from their film for the purpose of demonstration. Any volunteers?
