Acting for Animation - Angie Jones

"I wanted to provide those who couldn't attend this workshop some of my notes, BUT! I recommend this class to any animator who has ever been stuck on where to go with a character on a scene. Which is basically all of us at one time or another ? : ) It is definately worth the time, travel and money. Let me begin with, I do not think I have laughed as hard as I did those two days, in years.
On top of that, the mix of Ed Hooks acting stories and input with Jo McGinley's improv exercises provided excellent tools to quickly pinpoint how you interpret your character. They provided a vocabulary with the laban methods that enable you to make a quick, concise judgment of who the character is and how he/she would act in the circumstances given. In addition, I have taken some acting classes that used the laban techniques and exercises before, and those weren't even half as entertaining or informative as those Jo had us perform. They have catered the acting techniques and stories to specifcally help animators with issues and they are trying hard to relate the two art forms.
I am providing some of my notes from the class below, but the bottom line is you got to be there and participate in the class to really get the "whole enchilada's" worth of information and tools. My notes are way sparse compared to what you get if you attend. I highly recommend this class!! I know they are going to offer it again.
I hope this helps somebody I know it has already inspired me to use these tools."
