Brainstorm with a moving line, as you rediscover the thrill of traditional animation. Watch your artwork burst into action in this total immersion, hand-drawn animation class, led by award-winning animator Pell Osborn of MotionArt Studios. We follow the trail blazed by Disney, Warner Brothers and Fleischer Studios, then bring our organic, hand-drawn artwork into the digital realm for editing, looping and soundtrack sync. LineStormers design and animate individual sequences to create a group project, two to three minutes long, to which everyone contributes. The LineStorm approach works wonders:our IAP 2011 project, “Six Simple Machines,” won Best Animation of the Year at last spring’s annual MIT Media Spectacular at the Stata Center. “LineStorm is a tremendous program! Everyone loves it! - Cooper-Hewitt Museum, NYC “LineStorm is the best example of project-based learning we've ever seen!” - Project Zero, Harvard University No previous drafting experience necessary. All materials provided. Please note: four class meetings. Participants take home storyboards, artwork, and flipbooks of their own design.
