A Great Cast of Characters
As you know, Splinedoctors are Pixar Animators by day and Teachers by night in SF at the Academy of Art. We have been teaching there for quite a while now. Our students have been doing great and getting jobs at all of the top studios. We are almost done with the semester, so I wanted to showcase some of the students work. This particular assignment is a one person dialog test. The students take the model and work with a line from a movie or tv show. We focus on character, acting, facial animation, polish and so forth. Thank you to Morgan and Leif for creating the new model for this semester.

That's some sweet work right there. The "billy doesn't feel like talking" and the Swedish aristocrat pieces especially. Well, all of them, actually. The facial animation on those two, though, is truly great.

Holy crap, nice work guys!
Great to see so many iterations of Norman, I'm amazed at how creative and versatile you've all been with him (or her, apparently).
And the animation is superb. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see more.

Any chance you could throw out some tips for us novie "at home" CG film makers?
Well, The reason we put up this site was to give tips and tricks on Animation, so what you ask is a very broad question. My major suggestion is probably to keep it simple at first. Try making characters that are fun to watch.

Those pieces are awesome and really inspires students like myself to keep going. I really like "Purgatory Cafe:" that arm shooting out really adds so much and I found myself watching that part over and over.
It's awesome you guys are sharing your student work!

Great stuff! I've never been able to see tests from the classes before. Cool!
I'm surprised at how many different situations and characters there are. Do the teachers distribute pre-arranged dialogue and characters, or do you and the students come up with them together?
