Escape Studios is hosting a two-day animation workshop in London on June 10-11 presented by Andrew Gordon, who is currently supervising animator on Pixar’s new short film Presto. During the two days, Gordon will cover all aspects of character animation craft in extraordinary detail. He’ll review the basic principles, staging and pose design as well as advanced techniques for gestures, face and hand animation. He’ll also be demonstrating the high-level polishing techniques used to lift a shot from being good, to being great. An animator at Pixar for 11 years, Gordon has contributed character animation to nearly every major feature the studio has produced. On Academy Award winning film The Incredibles, Andrew spent the majority of his time animating Edna Mode, the beloved super hero costume designer character. He is currently working on Toy Story 3. The event is designed for both professional and student animators of any level, and the skills and techniques included are not software specific. The pricey £300 tickets for this exciting workshop can be purchased online via Escape Studios.
