Mark Kausler At Laguna College of Art & Design:
Today Mark Kausler and his wife Kathy came to Laguna to talk to the Animation Department.
Part of the event was interview and question and answer the next part was critique of student films in progress. Here Mark is talking to Christina Yeung about her very personal film about a little girl and her Grandmother.
More critique and ideas on the best way to present story points.
Mark shows students an original music score from a Harmen Ising cartoon that has been marked up for animation accents on the music beats. A bit of a theme for the day.
One of the highlights on any Mark Kausler event is the screening of rare films from his animation collection.
This screening was designed to show examples of animating to the beat of the music. As cruel fate would have it the school projecter blew a fuse and we lost sound. Mark and Aubry faught to get it back on line but with no luck.
We did get to watch one silent Winkler Oswald that I had asked Mark to throw in because I had not seen it before.
Mark promised to bring back his films at a later date and bring his own projector.
We did get to screen Mark`s short animation It`s the Cat (he had it with him on DVD) and the students got to see cel setups of the film. Mark still has some cel setups for sale and we should have some of them at the ASIFA booth this year at Comic Con.
