Have you ever wished you could gain inside knowledge of how Pixar animators work, and how they create animation of such quality?

Escape Studios are thrilled to announce a 2 day animation workshop presented by Andrew Gordon, who is currently Supervising Animator on Pixar's new short film "Presto" at Pixar Animation Studios.

During the two days Andrew will cover all aspects of character animation craft in extraordinary detail. He’ll review the basic principles, staging and pose design as well as advanced techniques for gestures, face and hand animation. He’ll also be demonstrating the high-level polishing techniques used to lift a shot from being good, to being great.

Andrew has been animating at Pixar for 11 years now, during which time he has contributed character animation to nearly every major feature they’ve produced. On Academy Award winning film The Incredibles, Andrew spent the majority of his time animating Edna Mode, the beloved super hero costume designer character. He is currently working on Toy Story 3.

The event is designed for both professional and student animators of any level, and the skills and techniques included are not software specific. The event will be held in London on Thursday 10th and Friday 11th July 2008, and tickets are available through Escape Studios. The cost is £300 for the two days. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

The master class will include a screening of Pixar’s new short film 'Presto'
