Intro
WRITTEN BY AN ANIMATOR -
FOR ANIMATORS
This blog is created to document and inspire all involved in bringing life to characters and inanimate objects. We cover everything from computer generated animation, VFX, stop motion and even puppets.
Hello, My name is Angie and I live and work in Los Angeles, creating animation for film and commercials for the past 17 years.
Jamie Oliff and myself wrote
THINKING ANIMATION:
the Gap Between 2D and CG
2006 and started this blog to promote it. My co-author - Jamie Oliff - reads the blog regularly, but is a bit challenged typing on a keyboard...so, he is here in spirit.
