As an animation student, I am often asked what it is that I am ultimately involved with.People generallyaren't aware of the intense dedication and time that animators haveto bring 'to' their work in creatingappealing stories, characters and environments. And who canblame people for their lack of awareness? Our viewers see our final creation on the bigscreen, but unless you're a student of the craft of animation, you won't be aware of therigorous development process that takes place before a movie or game makes it into the publicdomain. My presentation encompasses the entire creative practice, from initial conceptdesign, to showcasing a completed animated short work. I truly believe in the animationmedium as a force for creative expression, and want to illustrate how the final result isjust the tip of a large iceberg built upon many layers of creative endeavor andimagination.
