G1.13 is in the Gateway Building |
Steve will be coming to Bucks on Tuesday 26 May at 9.30 am in G1.13 to host the workshop.
What's it all about?
Animation production. Here at Bucks we teach digital art, computer skills, art, design and film-making, but we don't teach as much about the business of animation production as we probably should.
Is it important to know how to produce animation?
Anyone who has ever worked on a freelance job knows how vital it is to be able to bid accurately for a job, so you make enough money to make a living, but don't bid so high you don't get the work. A working knowledge and understanding of the business side of the industry is something that every digital artist should have. As an employee, you don't really need to know this stuff. But as a freelancer, or as anyone running a small business, it is vital information.
Who is invited?
The class is scheduled for our first year students, but all animation students at Bucks are invited and are very welcome to attend.
