Parkour in Animation
Sebastien understands what makes a great action scene, and will help our students choose the right action for the right circumstance. 

Sebastian will discuss which movements work and which don’t work - if you want to keep pulses racing throughout a scene.  He will also talk about how best to frame and action shot in the camera to get the best impact.

Sebastien will talk us through some of the decisions he made when shooting Parkour scenes for Casino Royale - as well as other film work.
