Animation Bridge : Storyboarding from start to finish
Skillset is delighted to report on the successful completion of Animation Bridge, and the follow up scheme Animation Bridge: Storyboarding from Start to Finish.
With funding from Skillset, Animation Bridge was a model piloted by Aardman Animations and South West Screen in 2006 for stop motion key animators transferring to CG production, a unique opportunity for up to ten people to become experts in storyboarding through a highly specialised training course at Aardman's film studio in Bristol.
The new training scheme, which ran from April-June 2008, looked at Storyboarding from Start to Finish. This intensive 8 week course was tutored by Frank Gladstone, ex-Head of Training and Artistic Development at Disney and Dreamworks Animation, Aardman Animations and top UK trainers, aimed at helping professionals hone their skills, develop their craft, artistic interpretation and cine literacy.
Animation Bridge: Storyboarding from Start to Finish was funded by the Skillset Film Skills Fund, Aardman Animations, the South West Regional Development Agency and South West Screen.
