Seminarbeschreibung und -durchführung in Englischer Sprache!
About the master class:
Above all, the goal of the class is to help animators increase their skills for creating believable and entertaining performances in the characters they animate. There are two major aspects in the métier of animation that contribute to this. The first is that the characters move in believable ways and have proper weight and physicality.
And the second, more important aspect is that the characters think and feel through strong acting, so they may come alive on screen. Only when the audience empathizes with the characters can they be effectively led through the story of the film. The material in the Masterclass aims to answer to these questions of acting and physicality to make believable characters and tell entertaining stories ...

On the practical side, the Masterclass is a two-day lecture and demonstration series designed to offer an approach to 3D character animation that is widely used in feature animation production. For the most part, 3D animation schools and educational materials focus only software training. What is often missing is the knowledge of how to skilfully approach acting, storytelling and staging, the fundamentals of natural and appealing character performances.
Though there are detailed explanations of the major animation studio production pipelines, few studios have the luxuriously sized budgets of giants such as Pixar, Dreamworks and Sony. Most European studios for example have animation expectations upwards of 15 seconds a week per animator. Compare this to the 4-5 second a week average of the major studios and it becomes clear that that a solid methodology is necessary not only to achieve a good result but to do so in a timely manor.
For the most part, the material in the workshop is not technical. There are no explanations of a particular software. However, a lot will be said about the graph editor and dope sheet tools, which are universal among all 3D animation software programs. The majority of the topics covered in the two days will have to do with the approach and completion of 3D character animation, the procedures used and tricks of the trade. See the outline for a list of topics that will be covered in detail.
