Monday April 27 to Friday May 1 is Rigging Week at Bucks

Golden Companss - one of Karen's many film credits

April 27 to May 1st is Rigging Week for our second year animators at Bucks. We're welcoming master rigger Karen Halliwell to Bucks to get our students up to speed on the latest techniques for rigging in Maya. Karen has worked on hit films like Harry Potter, Rango, John Carter and Golden Compass. 

We're excited to see how our students get on with an entire week dedicated to just one thing - the art and craft of rigging for animation. The session will take place in G1.13 and starts at 9.30am on Monday April 27th. Don't be late! Rigging is a tough skill to master and there are many traps for the unwary. But, get this right, and you will have mastered one of the most important skills in the digital pipeline.
