This Week in 4th Year Animation: Script, Colour and Design

LECTURE: Colour, Concept and History - Tim McCormick  (S235, 11 AM Wednesday )

Tim's talk will discuss alternative creative processes and workflows for animated film
with a focus on colour and visual design. Tim shows how art-historical
influences shaped his short animated landscape After-Effects MA film, leading to
an exploration of how landscapes of the past influence and colour so much concept
art in film today, both animated and live action, with an emphasis on the 'epic.'
Tim will finish with some strategies to develop colour and mood, colour scripts and a
better feel for colour harmonies.

WORKSHOP: Character Design Critique - Enzo Avolio
Note that the workshop will NOT take place at the usual time but on  Thursday October 6 at 10 AM in in Lab A151.

Our own Enzo Avolio will lead a character design workshop for us this week. Bring your current work-in-progress character designs to discuss with Enzo and others.

Although design work (character or otherwise) is not specifically graded in the fourth year Milestones, it is an important part of the pre-production process and the Senior Film Project mentors support your design efforts with workshops like this.  Below is an example of some of Enzo's character design work, from the Character Design Blogspot at:   http://enzo-avolio-interview.blogspot.ca
