The Animation Collaborative and CTN are proud to present the Animation Demo & Masterclass with instructor Michal Makarewicz, Directing Animator at Pixar Animation Studios and the CTN animation eXpo now bundled to give you a 2-day immersive once in a lifetime learning experience.
Structured to mimic the daily tools needed for animators for the processes you will find in an animation studio.
Geared toward students and experienced animators alike, this masterclass discusses animation from a variety of artistic perspectives, breaking down and explaining the simplest to most complex theories, ideas, and choices. This course features in-depth lectures on the Graph Editor, a Variety of Workflows, Eyes and Polish with valuable time for a Q&A. It also includes 3 LIVE demonstrations in Autodesk Maya of the Bouncing Ball, Complex Physical Shot, Performance Acting Shot and industry-proven techniques for handling both common and unusual animation challenges.
Using examples of work by the instructor and other professional animators, each information-packed lecture is designed to deconstruct a specific topic and show the effects that various choices and techniques can have on your work. The corresponding live demos then illustrate how to incorporate these choices into your work so that your ideas read clearly from blocking to polish. Students are also shown tips and tricks for keeping a clean workflow in Autodesk Maya’s graph editor throughout the animation process.
We believe that true understanding of the animation process goes beyond simply discussing the subject matter. Our Animation Demo & Lecture Masterclass offers the unique opportunity to see how one of the industry’s most talented artists approaches animation - LIVE in front of you. Get the tools you need to create your own feature-quality animation, and don’t miss out on an exciting opportunity to meet and network with your peers.
