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.Back to Main Page

Hi Tony.
I wish you the very best of luck with this, 'animation bible'. I was fortunate to catch you at the ISA Convention in Dublin a few months ago. Of all the stars in the room it was your advice on basic (especially the walk cycle) animation that was most impressive. You reiterated the 'old school' techniques which was to get the fundametals right. Also, acting in out infront of mirrors. Im am a huge fan and advocate of your techniques.
Warmest wishes,
Damian Byrne

Thanks for you kind comments Damian. (Now I'm intrigued about what the 'new school' teaches as opposed to what I like to share with folks!) For me there is only one way of learning - and that way has to be made as simple and accessible as possible - so that producing a good walk (for example) is not the big scary ogre that many people seem to make it. Anyway, glad my approach worked for you. I did learn from the very best of course, so I am very proud to be able to bring the tradition forward into the digital age.
