Cinematography Workshop at Escape Studios

Understanding the language of cinematography is one of the key skills all our students learn in their first year at Escape Studios. Being able to compose an image, take a picture, and use a moving camera is part of the fundamental language of visual storytelling.  At Escape Studios, Animators and VFX artists learn how to tell stories with pictures.  Watch the video above to see our cinematography class in action, led by Head of VFX Clement Gharini.

Creature Animation Workshop: VIEW 19 Oct

I'll be hosting a creature animation workshop at this year's VIEW Conference again this year.  The two-hour animation workshop takes place online on Monday, 19 October from 11am to 1pm Italian time.

I'll be teaching students how to tackle some creature animation using Autodesk Maya.  We'll be animating spiders - demonstrating how to break down an apparently complex motion - an eight-legged walk - into simple parts to get a sophisticated result.

So if you fancy animating some creepy crawlies, join me on Monday, 19th October from 11am to 1pm Italian Time.  To sign up, follow this link.
