Workshops

Hey peeps!

Good chance to get some Pixar mentorship, starting this summer.

Four of Pixar top animators will hold Workshops starting July 1rst. Classes will go from 7:00pm to 10:00pm once a week

They will take place near Pixar (you'll even be able to see the front gate). You can easily get there by Bart and Emeryville go round or the transbay bus.

(If you are not going to be around over summer, you can still sign-up or ask for the Fall classes.)

What ​is ​TVP ​ANIMATION ​? ​-

"TVP ​Animation ​is ​a ​2D ​bitmap ​animation ​software, ​made ​by ​artists, ​for ​artists. ​Combining ​ ​real ​time ​drawing ​and ​animation ​applications ​into ​a ​single ​software ​solution ​, ​TVP ​Animation ​integrates ​artists ​directly ​into ​their ​work, ​in ​order ​to ​be ​concentrated ​on ​creation, ​instead ​of ​technique. ​ ​Designed ​for ​projects ​of ​any ​resolution, ​ranging ​from ​HDTV ​and ​Film ​to ​web ​video, ​TVP ​ ​Animation ​provides ​a ​simple, ​powerful ​alternative ​to ​expensive ​proprietary ​solutions ​and ​complex ​multiple ​software ​workflows.
