Description: Animation Bootcamp: Q&A Session SPEAKER/S: Ed Hooks (Acting for Animators), Michael Jungbluth (Zenimax Online), Tim Borrelli (5th Cell), Nate Walpole (Independent), Jalil Sadool (Dreamworks), Amy Drobeck (WB Games), Simon Unger (Independent), Jonathan Cooper (Ubisoft Montreal) and Ryan Duffin (EA/Danger Close) DAY / TIME / LOCATION: Monday 10:00- 6:00 Room 307, South Hall TRACK / DURATION / FORMAT / AUDIENCE LEVEL: Visual Arts / Full-Day / Bootcamp / All GDC VAULT RECORDING: Video DESCRIPTION: Game animation is a tricky beast. Balancing the want for film style visuals against gameplay constraints is a daily occurrence. While these constraints are very real, as games grow in both technology and emotional resonance, animators must break free of the excuses and help drive this industry forward with the unique skill sets they posses. Bringing together a group of experienced and specialized animators, this bootcamp will be a daylong gathering to rally animators from all over the industry, with a focus on deeper, more specific discussions into the needs of game animation, rather than a conference with a more varied discipline set. The day will start by focusing purely on the craft of animation, such as aspects of believability, body mechanics, and facial animation. Throughout the day we will transition into how to best apply that knowledge to game development, from wrangling mocap to applying what is learned to understand game design. 10-10:15am - Intro - Mike Jungbluth (Zenimax Online), Tim Borrelli (5th Cell) and Nate Walpole (Independent) 10:15-11:15am - Making an Audience Believe - Jalil Sadool (Dreamworks) 11:15am-12:15pm - It's Alive!
