See you on Monday in room 57

March 6-7, 2017 with special guest: Disney animator Trent Correy

MAniJam (Manitoba Animation Jam Out Session) is a creative challenge brought to you by Sisler IDM & Trent Correy. Student film-makers, animators & artists will be challenged to create animations in just 3 hours (sort of! remember School does end at 3:30 pm). 3 hours to create an animation from start to finish does sound crazy, but that’s the whole fun of it. Every student’s animation must start and finish with the same Key-Frames. Students may animate using any of the following tools:

pencils & paper,
Adobe Photoshop,
Adobe Flash/Animate,
Adobe After Effects,
Adobe Premiere
Animation Desk
etc

On March 6 & 7th, Disney animator Trent Correy (a former student) will be leading a 2 day celebration of Animation live @ Sisler…we are calling it MAniJam (Manitoba Animation Jam). Trent was one of the animators on the Academy Award winning animations: Frozen, Big Hero 6, & Feast and on the Golden Globe winning movie Zootopia and the nominated Moana. His work also includes The Smurfs movie, TMNT and many more. This will be an intimate event, with a maximum of 50 students (40 will be Sisler students).

There will be a Pizza lunch on Monday and snacks will also be provided thanks to Tangent Animation Studios and Manitoba Film & Music.

There will also be a 4 draw for all 2-day participants to receive a copy of:

Art of Big Hero 6 book, Art of Moana book, Art of Zootopia book, & Art of Frozen book

Trent’s Work:

“Zootopia” Shot Breakdown from trent correy on Vimeo. Zootopia Animation from trent correy on Vimeo. A break down of one of my “Zootopia” shots from story to final animation . Some shots I animated on “Zootopia” Shot Breakdown: Fred Action Scene from trent correy on Vimeo. Property of Walt Disney Animation Studios. For educational purposes only. Here’s a breakdown video for a few scenes from “Big Hero 6”. I had so much fun making the last video, and received such positive feedback that I decided to make another:) This was a very challenging sequence for me and a lot of fun at the same time. Each shot in the sequence had a different workflow (stepped, splined, straight ahead, heavily referenced) all depending on what the shot needed. I learnt so much from the Supervisors and the Directors on this sequence, I feel so humbled and privileged every time I present my shots for feedback. It’s such a positive atmosphere and everyone in the room is truly trying to make the shot the best it can be. From Story-boarding to Editorial everyone involved is improving the shot, I especially loved watching effects and lighting work their magic in the sequence! I’d love to hear feedback on what you’d be interested in seeing next, this was so much fun, I think I’ll do more! Thanks for watching! Here’s some character animation I did for Disney’s “Big Hero 6”!
