recap – Disney LO Course #3
Hans Perk is posting a series of lectures on Layout. In August 2006 I posted the notes for the Disney afterhours lectures. To coincide with Hans, I’m recapping those notes.
- The following is the Disney Layout Training Course’s 3rd meeting. Charles Philippi gave the lecture, and it’s a good one. It’s all about pans. (I posted the first lecture and don’t have the second. One is missing.)
There was a time when I was working for John Hubley on Everybody Rides The Carousel where he had asked me to design a background and setup for a package to be sent out, that day, to Bill Littlejohn for animation. Fortunately, I had just read these notes the day before, and I used what I’d learned. Hubley gave me a nice compliment, and I gave it all to Charles Philippi.
Littlejohn, by the way, did one of my favorite scenes of the entire time I was at that studio. I have the large number of drawings and will someday post some of them. Beautiful animation.
This Layout course is some 18 pages long. Since that’s a job to post all 18, I’m going to break it up into two days. Tomorrow the last half will be posted.

Oh, yikes, I’m floored.
never saw this before.
like I said over on the A Film blog, Bill Matthews gave us a ton of stuff that was I assume from the files at disney.
Al these years in layout and I’ve just been re inventing the wheel.

To recap in the recap: Layout Training Course #2 by Ken Anderson I posted in October 2006 in two parts, here and here.

Oh, I almost forgot: I also posted the three pages of exercises that seem to have been expected to be done before each of the actual courses here.
