Toon Boom Workshop
Download and listen to the Toon Boom Workshop. This was Workshop 1 at the
Darklight 2007 Symposium and took place at Filmbase from 11:30am to 12:30pm on the 22ns of June 2007.
The workshop was a Wobbly Land Case Study with
Brown Bag Films led by Matthew Darragh (Animation Director) and Ronan O Neil (Tech Supervisor of wobbly land)
Toon Boom is a leading software solution for animation studios to create high quality animations for film, video, television, games, web sites, mobile devices, training applications and more. Brown Bag Films, the Oscar-nominated Irish studio, spent a lot of time researching software before settling on Toon Boom. Most recently, they went into production with "Wobbly Land" using Toon Boom and kindly offered to give a workshop presentation at Darklight on how Toon Boom can be effectively used in the studio production process. This was an exciting and interesting workshop for anyone interested in cutting-edge animation.
