A film actor uses his body. An animation actor must always embody a different form. He becomes a lion or a baloon- Sometimes sad, sometimes nervous. In animation – it is not enough for the drawings to be nice and move around – what really brings the characters to life is acting! The workshop will teach you how to play a character in animation, how to make every character – whether it is a child, a dog, a robot or alien – look happy, sad, angry and, most importantly – real and appiling.
The workshop will be conducted by an animator and animation director, together with the audience – children and adults.
Workshop Moderators:
Uri Goldberg, a 29-year old animator from Jerusalem, who has been playing with toys and pretending that they are alive since he was 1 year old. A member of the TOHU Animation collective. When he’s not sleeping, he doodles.
Gilat Parag is a veteran television and film animation director who has already directed a baby, a duck, a dog, a cat and a cactus.
