💡 Why should animators know a thing or two about acting? Q&A time with Ed Hooks.
🌟 @ed.hooks pioneered acting training for animators instead of stage actors, his book „Acting for Animators“ is a standard reference work. He has taught his Acting for Animators masterclass for most major animation studios and game companies – and at FMX - Film & Media Exchange for the past sixteen years.
📌 In our Q&A, Ed talks about the „seismic shift“ in the entertainment industry caused by A.I., storytelling and why animators should acquire some principal knowledge about acting.
📺 Watch more videos about current developments in the industry in the link in bio. ↗️

GULLERMO DEL TORO, SPEAKING AT ANNECY 2023, MADE THIS OBSERVATION ABOUT THE STATE OF FEATURE ANIMATION:
“….characters and emotions are “codified into a sort of teenage rom-com, almost emoji-style behavior.” He added, “[If] I see a character raising his fucking eyebrow, or crossing his arms, having a sassy pose — oh, I hate that shit. [Why] does everything act as if they’re in a sitcom? I think it is emotional pornography. All the families are happy and sassy and quick, everyone has a one-liner. Well, my dad was boring. I was boring. Everybody in my family was boring. We had no one-liners. We’re all fucked up. That’s what I want to see animated. I would love to see real life in animation. I actually think it’s urgent. think it’s urgent to see real life in animation.”

"The word "empathy" was created in 1908. It was coined as the English translation of the German term "Einfühlung," which literally
means ‘in-feeling.’ “ #Acting for animators #story #emapathy #sympathy #animators
“I am usually hesitant to buy an updated edition of a book I already own, but I wholeheartedly encourage all of my animator friends to buy a copy of Ed Hooks' "Acting for Animators" 5th
Edition." -- Jason Kennedy, Auckland
