I had the opportunity to teach some animation in London and I wanted to thank all the people that came to the class. It was an amazing experience, being in such a vibrant city. It seems like the animation community in London is really exciting. I only hope I can return one day. I will hopefully posting some missing images from the presentation.

I’ve been trying to write posts on the class Andy and I teach at the Academy of Art, over on my personal blog. I didn’t want to clog up this blog talking about our class, but if you would like to follow along and read about what we teach and the problems most students run into then give it a look.

I challenged my class at CCA to take a piece of music and animate flour sacks to it… If they wanted to they could also pick a favorite sequence from a film they love and animate it with flour sacks. The purpose of the assignment is to explore staging, acting, cutting and most of all, Straight Ahead style animation. Here are a few of the Sack tests the students did…
Great job to everyone! Expect the other students films soon.

Our Good friends at Animation Mentor have posted the works of their fall show. Carlos gave me a look, and man is it good. Amazing job to all the students and teachers. Animation Mentor really is committed to animation education. They really care about the students which is not the case with a lot of animation schools out there. I expect it will only get better and better. I’d love to hear any comments from students about the program.
