Workshop at Gobelins, or how to prepare your entry into the professional world
Every year, Gobelins, l'école de l’image organises a workshop to help prepare its 3D animation students to enter the professional world. In June 2013, this workshop, attended by Krystof Serrand, Shelley Page and other animation directors and supervisors, involved giving a contemporary approach to a plan taken from a cult animation film from their childhood.
Running for a 3rd consecutive year, the 3D animator training is divided into nine months of classes and 3 months of internship.
The Annecy Festival is the opportunity to bridge the theory learned in class with practice during a work experience.
The workshop's teaching purpose is to learn how to communicate an animator's point of view on a film sequence by using technical skills, in line with the primary objective of enhancing the storytelling. The aim is to introduce the students to the job of animation supervisor, which includes briefing a team about an idea for animation, by using a critical approach in order to serve the narrative. This workshop was created by Gobelins, l'école de l'image, in collaboration with CITIA, city of moving images.
