For the last two days the alsoran has been fortunate enough to have been atending lectures and a workshop by Ed Hooks, author of Acting For Animators. Invited into the studio for the second time to give the animators a greater insight into acting as we move into a period where a deeper level of acting and subtlety can be achieved with our characters.

Unfortunately, much of the content of the lectures were identical to the material used several years previous. However, while much of what Mr Hooks discussed we are already looking into, it is more reassuring than anything else that we are headed in the right direction with regards to details on eyes and facial expressions. The alsoran would recommend the lectures to animators looking to get more of a performance from their characters.
