In the art of Animation, movement and characterization are obviously key points of interest to artists. Careful analysis of the human body and its possibilities in natural and stylized movement is invaluable. Theatrical Mime offers animators a greater understanding of the potential of a character's physical expression.
Trained in Paris by the world-renowned master Marcel Marceau,
Lorin Eric Salm brings
over twenty years of training and experience in Theatrical Mime to workshops he created specifically for animation artists. He has trained professional animators at both
Walt Disney Feature Animation and DreamWorks Animation as well as animation students.
In these workshops, some concepts are introduced through lecture and demonstration. There is no substitute, though, for hands-on experience, so animators participate in exercises and improvisations to achieve a better understanding of the concepts. Printed materials accompany each workshop for later reference.
Workshop concepts range from the basic nature of stylized movement to taking full advantage of 3D animation. Concepts include:
The workshop is designed as a
series of classes. One-time workshops are possible, but a
limited number of concepts can be introduced and sufficiently
explored in any one class. The
minimum duration of a single class is one hour, although we
highly recommend at least two hours at a time (especially
for one-time workshops), as it can be difficult to cover a
significant amount of material in less time. The selection
and number of concepts covered in your workshop will depend on
the total number of hours allotted.
"Lorin Eric Salm presented one of the most extraordinary and helpful workshops for our animators that we ever could have
imagined. . . . We can without reservation recommend him to
teach and expand the palette of animators, students and
journeymen alike."
