Class alert: "Acting for Visual Artists" with Tracy Burns

Kitbull!

Pixar just released another of their SparkShorts, "Kitbull":


This film was directed by Rosie Sullivan, one of our talented story artists.  I had the pleasure of working with her for about 6 weeks.  It was my first experience with 2D, hand-drawn animation, and I absolutely loved it!  The animators did all their own roughs, cleanup, and even coloring in TV Paint.  The background paintings and compositing were handled by other artists.  We had a very short and intense schedule and a shoestring budget, but honestly it was the most fun I've had animating in years.  I hope I have the chance to do more 2D animation soon!
