A Visit from Nancy Beiman
Posted: January 7, 2010

Lynn recently enjoyed a visit from her good friend, the accomplished animator Nancy Beiman.

Nancy currently teaches animation at Sheridan Institute in Toronto and has published a book called Prepare to Board! (available for purchase from Amazon). The book is an entertaining look at visual storytelling for animation (referred to as 'storyboarding'.) and animation character design, written by a professional animator.

In July, Nancy's second book, entitled Animated Performance, will be released - it includes a foreword written by Lynn. It explains how animators act. Believe it or not, there has not been one written by an animator--until now. Learn how to channel your inner Beast!
