August 7th

from 1pm - 3pm PST

The JRA Webinar / Live Animation Demo will be a virtual classroom where we'll all get together 12 times a year, once a month for 2 hours. I will be taking "Animation Master Classes" and showing how I approach developing these ideas into dynamic sequences for either a showreel piece or a short film. I will be doing story boards, flipbook leica reels and animation performance solving in flipbook. You will log in to this "virtual classroom" and see my full desktop and hear me talk as I develop shots and solve animation. Included in the 2 hours will be a full half hour devoted to Q&A where you can ask me questions directly and I can explain with the aid of drawings how I approach these problem areas. The whole event will be recorded and available for download to both students that attend the webinars and for students in time zones that may miss the live event. The resulting shots of the class (not the full recording) will also be posted for anyone to see what the classes are all about

I had a chance to attend the Webinar for the first time and I have to say it was absolutely fantastic!!!! Wow! I learned sooooo much! Thank you for doing this and sharing with us your animation experience and knowledge! I won't miss any Webinar from now on for sure! I already purchased the entire training course and have started doing all assignments. Thanks so much for creating the course and doing the Webinars! It is super super helpful!

Before I had the feeling that my shot and animation were missing something, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I needed someone else to tell me what needed work. Now I know what to look for and even visualize the possible solutions. Thanks for painstakingly going step by step through your thought process to show how you do it. You have no Idea how relieved I am. I was starting to think that, although I love animation, it was not for me. Thank you very much,
