Final
Fantasies - CGI in Japanese Animation
Presentation by Jonathan Clements |
This
excellent master class explains, in practice, the structure
of good story-telling and the connections between thought,
emotion and action.
"I've been to a lot of lectures and workshops given
by top animators and acting teachers and always left feeling
like I really didn't get much out of it. Your talk was the
complete opposite, I was left with the feeling of finally
getting some stuff I could use...." [more
