Teaching & Workshops
Storyboarding Workshop for Kids
This storyboard workshop was conducted with students from the British Council in Singapore as an extension of their “Walk and Talk” competition. In conjunction with the Speak Good English Movement from the National Library Board, students submitted a two-minute audio walking tour of a location in Singapore. Winning entries were then turned into short animated films based on the storyboards created in the workshop.
Course on Interactive Storytelling
Interactive Storytelling breaks traditional narrative structures and dismantles the notion of a predetermined plotline. It asks a provocative question of the digital age: what does “story” look like in the face of interactivity? This course asks students to find the possible answers.
Introduction to 2D and 3D Computer Animation
With my 2D and 3D computer animation courses I impress upon students not to overwhelm their creative spirit with the glamor of the technology or mistake its prepackaged art tools as a substitute for their own imagination. In both courses, the role of the animator as the designer and actor is emphasized.
Drawing for Animators
These drawing classes are designed specifically for animators. Built on a traditional figure drawing approach, they expand into a more thorough observation and analysis of the figure in motion.
