Creating a Believable Performance (Using Maya)
Workshop with Will Byles
Acting For Animators
Workshop with Ed Hooks
A practical, interactive and 'hands on' workshop, led by Will Byles, one of the UK's leading animators. Using Maya 5 animation software, Will Byles will help animators create believable performances from a range of different models in this comprehensive workshop. Focusing on lip-synch, camera work and acting styles, this workshop will enable delegates to animate talking characters more efficiently and effectively.

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 like this...]

Ed Hooks lives in Chicago and is the author of 'Acting for Animators'.
