Lecture & Workshop with Terry Lenko, Layout Supervisor

This week’s lecture and workshop come courtesy of layout artist and supervisor Terry Lenko (Nelvana).

Terry's work includes TV series and theatrical films such as Sidekick (2010-11), Curious George (2006), and Ann of Green Gables (2000). He has also been a production designer for  Backyardigans (2006).

Terry has taken some time away from his busy schedule at Nelvana to talk to us about the topic of Professional Design for Layout (Wednesday, 11 am, S235). 

Before that, he’ll also be on hand to assist you with your own layout design in the workshop (A151 at 9 AM.) 

This layout lecture and workshop are very timely because of the just completed Animatic deadline, which means you should have some nice material to show at the workshop. Bring your work in an easily presentable digital format, such as PNG files or a playable reel.

Wednesday’s Trip to University of Toronto Faculty of Music
Note that there will be no 4th Year lecture or workshop on Wednesday.

This trip is an opportunity for Sheridan student animators to meet with the University of Toronto student composers.
Each UT composer will present an example of their recent music that gives a sense of their musical style. Sheridan animators will then have a chance to meet them individually and present their project in the form of their Leica Reel.

DATE: Wednesday, November 16, 11 am - 4 pm
PLACE:  Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, 80 Queen’s Park  (behind the Royal Ontario Museum). Meeting place: Walter Hall, lower basement

Don't confuse the Faculty of Music with the Royal Conservatory of Music! They are both near the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), but the Royal Conservatory is on Bloor St., while the Faculty of Music is on Queen's Park Crescent (University Avenue).

There is a Go Train from Oakville to Union Station every 1/2 Hr between appr. 8 am and 10:26 AM. The 9:56 am or earlier train will get you there with enough time to find your destination.

Sheridan students, please bring the following to this session:
• your Leica reel with TEMP AUDIO MIX on a tablet, laptop (preferable) or memory stick
• headphones
• pen & notepad (for jotting down names and contact info)

Note that you must commit to a working partnership within a few weeks of this meeting! Thereafter it is your responsibility to stay in contact with each other via email, text, telephone, etc.
