Essentials of Paper-and-Pencil Animation

 

Atam Rasho, a graduate of the famous Ecole des Métiers du Cinéma d'Animation (EMCA) in France, led a one-month workshop at Tumo on the principles of 2D animation. Using pencil and paper to hand draw each frame of their animations, workshop participants developed practical skills needed to capture movement through drawing.

 

Another animation project led by French animator Atam Rasho has just been completed at Tumo.

Rasho is an alumnus of the famous EMCA animation school in Angouleme, and this is the second in a series of traditional animation workshops he is leading at Tumo. These workshops complement Tumo's main curriculum, and give members the opportunity to expand their animation skills.

This time, the group was tasked with expressing a character's mood and reactions through movement. Each participant chose a character and situation, and used Adobe Flash to express the character's emotions in that situation.
