Objectives of the bootcamp

Dive into the magical world of animation with the refreshing From Staging to Finaling Animation Bootcamp, which is designed for animators at all levels. Over the course of three days, you will have the opportunity to advance one or more shots from your personal demo or current project. During the bootcamp, we will cover classical animation principles to analyze, understand, and perfect your animation. Additionally, I will share insights gained from working with highly demanding mentors, such as Lino Di Salvo, the animation director from Frozen; Olivier Staphylas, the animation director from Wish Dragon; Denis Couchon, the animation director from Thelma the Unicorn; and Ludovic Bouancheau, the animation director from The Last Wish.

Furthermore, these experiences have allowed me to hone my ability to spot key elements that enhance animation without unnecessary struggle. Consequently, at Meet Your Legend, we emphasize practical application to truly grasp and learn concepts. Therefore, bring your own animation projects and let’s push them as far as possible together. If you seek to learn from experienced animation directors, this From Staging to Finaling Animation Bootcamp presents the perfect opportunity for you!

  • See animation from a new perspective
