Animation Advanced Development Workshop for Screen Training Ireland

I’m back from Dublin where I had the pleasure to run an Animation version of my 3-day Advanced Development Workshop, for an audience of experienced writers, directors, story editors and producers working with companies such as Cartoon Saloon, Boulder Media, Brown Bag FilmsMoetion Films, Hyper Pictures, Stoney Road FilmsTailored Films and SRF, as well as freelancers.

I love animation, so it was a privilege to have the opportunity to design this event for Screen Training Ireland and spend three intense days with these talented professionals. The workshop explores how we can use the Story-Type Method® to develop animation projects, using animation clips, case studies and examples. We discussed Inside Out, Despicable Me, Tower, Bolt, Toy Story, Song of the Sea, Finding Nemo, My Life as a Courgette, Kubo and the Two Strings and many others during this first edition (please click the picture below for more details).

Many thanks to Grainne Bennett and Teresa McGrane for their kind invitation and for making this possible, to Sorcha Scully for all the logistical help and for taking pictures of the event, and of course to all the participants for their challenging questions and limitless enthusiasm! Their constructive feedback and suggestions will also be extremely useful when it comes to polishing the next edition.

We worked hard (here during the analysis of Despicable Me, our character-led case study)…
