workshop
One hour live on YouTube with senior animator Manuel Bover (Hotel Transylvania, Spider-Man, Arthur Christmas): how to make a character think and feel. In English, and it costs nothing.
Who it's for: every animator, experienced or not. If you already animate, you take home a method for facial acting. If you have never animated, you see what an animator's work actually looks like.

What makes a face believable
Why a character reads as thinking before it moves, and as feeling before it speaks: the eyes, the brows, the timing between a thought and the expression that follows it.
