Squish and
Squash: Experiments in Hand-Drawn Animation
Turn Your Art Into Cinema
Squish and
Squash is a common phrase used in animation to explain
the exaggeration of an animated object as it moves and
reacts with its surroundings, like a falling squishing
scoop of jello squashing on the ground. Squish and
Squash will introduce you to early forms of animation
before you begin your own experiments with hand-drawn
animation techniques. The workshop includes training on
how to get your hand-drawn creations into the computer
and back out as an animated film. The finished group
film project will be shown at the T Tauri Film Festival
Finale Screening on Saturday, July 31, 2010.
The
registration deadline
is July 10, 2010.
