The Plastic Club will be hosting the 6th Annual Philadelphia Independent Animators Festival this upcoming Sunday the 17th. Bob Lee, who is organizing the event, has been setting up animation-related activities that will be going on throughout the afternoon.
I'll be running a hands-on workshop on sculpting characters at 1:45. Sculpey clay will be provided for anyone who would like to give it a try. The resulting sculptures will be fired in the oven on the day. My latest sculpt is in the above photo. I'll be using it for reference while animating Rita Fletcher in Fatal Error.
Also scheduled for the afternoon are Bob Moore's talk on animating with Photoshop and Rusty Eveland's zoetrope animation workshop.
Festival activities begin at 1:00. The animation screening starts at 5:00. Afterwards, there will be a Q&A session with the animators.
Festival attendance is free, but space is limited and a reservation is required. If you'd like to attend, please make a reservation over here.
Animators who showed their work at last year's festival are linked in this recap.
