Clown and Thinking Animation! We have some great news!
We now have Thinking

Finally we have the Disney Panel talk online in both
a mp3 podcast format and a quicktime movie format

below for links to the files.
Also keep your eyespeeled for November's issue of Computer Graphics

Gap Between 2D and CG.

The Thinking Animation Blog Forums are now public!
The Thinking
Animation Forums are LIVE!
We are very excited to provide you with a forum that
we hope will make a difference. Our forums are
designed to be an all inclusive, one-stop portal
for everything that is animation. The forums are
split into these sections:
- general discussion
- character animation
- creature animation
- stop Mo
- flash animation
- storytelling
- concept art
- acting for animators
- mentorships
- job searches
- bridging the gap
and so much more!
But what is the big deal you say? Its just another
forum...well we also have many learning
documents
for download, career
advice, and even anciliaries
are being developed for teachers and professors to
use when implementing the book into their curriculum!
BUT THERE'S MORE! Ever want to chat interactively
with the people online while you are waiting for
that playblast to finish? You can! There is a chat
room that anyone can log into and exchange ideas or
just share war stories. If the chat room becomes
very popular, we will look into making private rooms
and building the community even more! You can even
schedule a time to talk to your favorite mentor in
there!
Check out the...
Thinking
Animation Forums
Finally, the contributors for the book will be
regular visitors. The problem with most forums is,
there is not enough interaction with those who are
actually "in the know" and less experienced animators.
Those of you who want to learn more about
animation...the Thinking
Animation forum is a great place to start. Many
of the contributors for the book are actually
moderators to
the forums! And for those of you who want to get
away from the bitter and jaded souls on other
boards...this is the forum for you!
The Thinking Animation Forum is all about sharing
and expanding upon what we can learn about
animation. You can study animation for a lifetime
and still not know all there is to about motion and
acting and how to bring drawings or computer generated
puppets to life. So, join us in making a forum that
is positve and actually contributes!
