Inspiration: Master Animators At Work - SYLVAIN CHOMET

In this excerpt from the BBC series "The Secret of Drawing" (2006) director Sylvain Chomet (The Triplets of Belleville and L'Illusionniste ) demonstrates his approach to drawing for animation. The work shown is an early test scene from "The Illusionist" (released 2010) .

Pencil Tests from "The Illusionist"

Tahsin Özgür - Pencil Tests

I'm grateful to C. Siemens on the Don Bluth Animation Forum for directing my attention to this remarkable collection of pencil tests by animator Tahsin Özgür.

Here's a sampling:

"For a while my wife, Lale, had a company through which I did some of the best of my animation work. This "animated logo" was meant for that company, but by the time I was finished with the cleanup, she had already closed it down! The model is Lale, of course!"

Here is a short film prepared as part of an exhibition of animation at the Apel Gallery in Istanbul. The format is a "silent movie". Starting around the 00:35 mark it has an amusing "day in the life of an animator" sequence , in which you get a glimpse into Tahsin Özgür's animation work process (continuing my recent theme of posting videos of Master Animator's At Work) , with bits of his animation interspersed with scenes of him drawing at his animation table -

This was prepared for an exhibition at the Apel gallery in Istanbul in 2001.

Inspiration: Master Animators at Work - GLEN KEANE

These have been shared on a lot of blogs , but for completeness sake in this series I'm re-posting them here.

A great lecture (in three parts) by Glen Keane on his approach to animating a scene. You can learn so much by just "looking over the shoulder" of these great animators as they animate.

Master Animators at work. It's always interesting and educational to see how an animator approaches animating their scenes.
