Shaun McGlinchey

Starting with walk cycles and squash and stretch, the course will cover all the basics of traditional drawn animation, including matter, characters, acting and lip-sync. Concepts of timing, layout and movement compositions will be covered and the lessons learned will aid all forms of animation, not only drawn but puppet and computer. The course will have a practical approach with your work recorded and analysed on the spot. You will leave with a digital copy of your work and a very large pile of drawings.
