Flip Book Animation Workshop for underprivileged kids
The Animation Society of India, in collaboration with the Mohile Parikh Center (NCPA, Mumbai) is conducting a full day Flip Book Animation Workshop for underprivileged kids from various NGOs across Maharashtra on Saturday, 19th December 2009 at NCPA, Mumbai.
Vaibhav Kumaresh will introduce the fascinating world of animation to a group of 40 children by screening a variety of animation films so that they can get a feel of the medium. He will then demonstrate how a series of single drawings/ images when played at a certain speed, create the illusion of movement. The children will then be given papers and pencils to doodle page by page. Once they have completed their drawings, they will put together their pages with a rubber band and flip them to see the animation they have created!
Animation Production Management : A Session Report

A 150 strong audience set the pace for the much awaited session on Animation Production Management conducted by Ranjit Singh (Tony). Taking an unconventional approach, the presentation started with a case study on a non-animation project. Tony explained how the basic principles of production management are common across different fields. Life becomes simpler if you analyze a project carefully, break it down into manageable tasks, commit resources intelligently and monitor the progress regularly. Animation production management, he explained, is about common sense, more than anything else. Most projects run into trouble because of lack of proper planning and control over the execution. Whether you are an independent artist, student or a professional working for an organization, production management has to start with you, he said. The best systems, procedures and pipelines will fail miserably if there is no belief that organization and discipline go hand in hand with hard work. Planning in the absence of control over the execution is as good as not planning at all.
