Gobelins Summer School: Yoshi Tamura

Already the last masterclass.
These two weeks at Gobelins were over far too soon. I would like it to be for at least two months, instead of only two weeks. It's now about 2 to 3 months ago and I still miss Gobelins. The best experience ever!

The last workshop we got was the one of Yoshi Tamura. Yes, you should really click the link and see what he did at IMDB. His work is awesome! He worked together with Glen Keane on Tarzan, worked on The Hunchback of Notredame (Quasimodo), Princess and the Frog (Tiara), Igor and made Reflexion (which won an awesome price at Siggraph.

Yoshi told us some things about acting and interstiong things about how to really express emotions. I was really surpised to hear that Yoshi never works with the graph editor in Maya. He says he's used to do everything by eye, probably because of his 2D background.
And he gave an interesting perspective about how the background itself is a character too.

Most of the masterclass he did he filled with showing us his work and telling stories about the studios and work he did and how he got in. It was really interesting to listen to him and honestly, I was honored to get a masterclass from Yoshi. It was epic.
