ABSTRACT
This course provides an introduction to acting and drawing techniques used to develop stronger character animation. Physical warm ups, trust and improvisation will be introduced. Participants will physically participate in theater games and drawing methods. The exercises will inspire an instinctive understanding of staging principles, thumbnail drawing, animal personification, mime, emotional recall and audience awareness. Participants will view demonstrations of acting and drawing by lecturers. Each participant will be provided with theater props, animation paper and pencils for exercises. Animation, from Siggraph's Animation and Electronic Theater, will spotlight excellent acting in animation examples during the course.

Layered acting for character animation
We introduce an acting-based animation system for creating and editing character animation at interactive speeds. Our system requires minimal training, typically under an hour, and is well suited for rapidly prototyping and creating expressive motion. A ...
