Tony White
Tony White is a British Academy Award-winning animation director, animator, author, educator and consultant. At the beginning of his career, he studied advanced animation techniques with some of the finest masters of the art-form. Specifically: Ken Harris (original lead animator of "Bugs Bunny," "Roadrunner," etc.), Art Babbit (original lead animator on "Pinocchio," "Fantasia," etc.) and Richard Williams (3 times Oscar winner and author of "The Animator's Survival Kit"). Tony is currently animation program director and instructor at the inspirational non-profit, AIE-Seattle (www.theaie.us), where he is developing a 2-year program that will enable students to enter the industry without the extreme student loan challenges that are common at other animation schools in the USA. Tony is founder of "Drawassic Age" (www.drawassic.com), a ground-breaking animation studio that seeks to preserve, teach and evolve the art-form of traditional animation in this digital age. Tony's ultimate dream is to establish a unique atelier-style studio/academy of advanced animation - where his most talented student graduates can gain industry experience through an MFA-level style apprenticeship with master professional animators, on unique, ground-breaking animated films. To help realize this dream, Drawassic Age is currently producing a short 2D animated teaser for its first intended movie production "Bad Penguin". (www.badpenguinmovie.com) Tony's current best-selling books include: "The Animator's Workbook"; "Animation from Pencils to Pixels ~ Classical Techniques for Digital Animators"; "How To Make Animated Films" and "Jumping Through Hoops: The Animation Job Coach". His latest (and Tony believes, his best) animation book, "Animator's Notebook", is to be published in October 2011 by Focal Press.

LESS THAN A MONTH TO GO!

This year's festival poster by Peter Moehrle.

Exciting times ahead! This year's "2D OR NOT 2D Animation Festival" on December 5th at the Eames Theater in the Pacific Science Center, Seattle is less than a month away now.

With the highest number of "Golden Pencil Award" competition entries (by over 50% up on last year's record!), the Seattle premiere of award-winning movie "Secret of Kells" booked and the film's director, Tomm Moore, and art director, Ross Stewart, ready to fly out and present their film personally this promises to be the best event ever! Full details can be found at the festival website (www.2dornot2d.org), where online tickets may be obtained via the Pacific Science Center online boxoffice. (But do book early to avoid disappointment!)

The event has been made possible as a result of the generous support of DigiPen Institute of Technology and Pacific Science Center and is hosted by non-profit organization, Animaticus Foundation, who will use all revenues received from this event to assist in their mission in preserving, teaching and evolving tradtional 2D animation.

Definitely an event not to miss!

Tony. :^{)}=-
