Inspired Acting: A Study of Great Moments From Great Actors; Industry Day Primer

This week we have two events focusing on Acting & Performance in animation courtesy of Stephen Barnes. In addition, Tony Tarantini will give us a primer on the basic logistics of Industry Day. Not to be missed.


Wednesday 11 am J102
First up in the Wednesday lecture  is the Industry Day primer from I.D. director Tony Tarantini, who'll explain how it works, and answer many of the questions you probably have on your mind.






This is followed by Sheridan's Stephen Barnes who offers 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, titled Inspired Acting: A Study of Great Moments From Great Actors, is essential viewing. It's also very entertaining, as Steve  peppers the talk with many fascinating and unusual film clips.







Wednesday 3 pm, A361
This is followed at 3 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?
