MENTOR The Animation Festival Network educational programme, AFN Edu, proudly presents its fifth animation workshop for young professionals and students. It will take place during the 23rd Animateka International Animated Film Festival in Ljubljana, Slovenia.<\/p>\n This 3-day workshop introduces participants to the art of character development in animation, through playful exploration exercises. The participants will be drawing and working with a live model and explore different ways of seeing and drawing the human figure. Through playful drawing exercises using pen, charcoal, and other analogue materials, they will investigate gesture, movement, attitude, mood, and the bodily experience of being in a pose. The aim is to discover a playful and increasingly empathic way of observing and understanding a character.<\/p>\n The focus of the workshop will then shift from observation to character and storytelling. Through film excerpts, discussion and analysis, participants look at how characters are constructed within a narrative: what makes a character recognisable, what communicates personality, how gesture and appearance can suggest a story, and how a character changes depending on the world around them. Participants begin developing their own characters and gather visual and narrative research around it.<\/p>\n The final day is about bringing the material together. Participants bring their research based on the discussions and select one character developed from their workshop exercises to finalize.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Luca T\u00f3th<\/strong> is a Hungarian animation director and illustrator, born in 1989.
