About the workshop: Creating a feature quality shot from concept all the way to final CG polish in Maya.
The main objective of the workshop is to show how a Supervising Animator creates a feature quality shot from concept all the way to final CG polish in Maya. The shot will be approx 5 - 6 feet (80 - 100 frames) in length. This is the average length of a shot in a feature movie and the average output required by studios. Normally this could be achieved in one full day, but with demos, discussions, brainstorming and Q&A, we will complete it over the course of the three day workshop.
Day1
We will discuss the process of animation from Jason’s perspective and why it's so important to do a blue-print for your shot. Over the course of the day we will be solving the performance for the shot in Flipbook. Using the audience as a Director, Jason will be taking input and preparing the shot for CG animation. Also a Q&A session about the studios and directors he has worked with and their different likes and dislikes in animation.
Day2
This is where the bulk of the work will be done in Maya - we'll block out the golden poses, keys and breakdowns using our Flipbook performance as a blue-print. We will also make sure that our 2D flipbook animation is solved from every angle, stressing the importance of animating everything, even off-screen animation.
Day3
This is where we create the final polish for the shot adding finesse and detail that may not be expected but will be noticed. We'll then finish with a Q&A and talk about creating showreels for the Big Studios.
