Animating the Unknown
Animation, IMHO, is the perfect art form. You are in complete control of the world you create, of your characters, of space, sound, and time.
The infinite possibilities of the medium can be both liberating and intimidating. When there are no limitations, there is a tendency to retreat back into what is safe and known. In this session I will show my process from start to finish of creating a short animated film, including how I use Photoshop as an animation software - and my techniques that I use to keep things wet and wild.
