Promoting a fundamental understanding of traditional animation techniques and developing the skills to implement them are the themes of a special workshop at Tumo led by French animator Atam Rasho.
Rasho is a graduate of EMCA the famous school of animation in Angoulême, France. Using pencil and paper, workshop participants are exposed to drawing each frame of a sequence and developing the basic techniques of hand drawn animation. The finished images are then digitized and combined on a computer using the Dragonframe application. By placing the emphasis on the fundamentals of traditional animation, the workshop aims to lay foundations for acquiring more advanced techniques in digital animation.
