Frasier MacLean Talk

A famous author who wrote Setting the Scene: The Art and Evolution of the Animation Layout, and credits included from the movies: Space Jam, Tarzan and so on came to Bower Ashton to give a 2 hours and 30 minutes talk to share his experience through out the year on how he worked on his projects.

He talks about how important it is of the layout of an animation  because that brings out the whole idea of and picture of the animation. He also talks about how he discovered that people did not actually treat animation layout seriously in the animation film. He showed us some film included The thief and cobbler
Studios mentioned are Animo , D-Canvas etc.

He emphasizes that the staging and movement of an animation is rather important , and it is also important to develop your own animation style.

Some example of books he recommended.
