Anifest India 06 is less than two weeks away and for all those who can’t wait for the days to pass by, here’s a basic outline of the first 3 workshops on DAY 1 at Anifest.
2D Chetan Sharma – Director, Animagic India
The driving idea behind Chetan’s presentation will be to explore & appreciate classical animation principles from a broad perspective.
Points covered will include
– To look at the spririt of sketching out characters & ideas which can be developed as a project in any medium..
– To discover in the sketches the essential building blocks of animated storytelling. (a demonstration of the creation of characters, storyboards and layouts.. which should end with a demo of an actual action roughed out)
Stop Motion Vaibhav Kumaresh & Dhimant Vyas
