Presented by Jason Schleifer, Animator/Creature Technical Director at Weta Digital, this material was taped during a Siggraph MasterClass Seminar. Advanced MEL knowledge is not necessary for understanding all of the material presented in this DVD, but is extremely beneficial for utilizing these concepts to their fullest potential. Included with the 90 minute DVD are approximately 80 pages of valuable notes in PDF format, MEL scripts and many useful tips, tricks, and examples. For Autodesk Maya.

Your client has a big cover illustration. You show him your brilliant idea in a tiny two inch thumbnail sketch. Oh cruel fate! The poor man is unable to extract the brilliant image sealed within your mind. You fail to get the job, which means you fail to make the money, which means you fail to buy a toothbrush, which means your breath stinks.

These ramp up tutorials are available for free on Jason\'s website, but thought it may be helpful for someone learning character animation to download it as a single file. Contains examples for Flipbook and Maya.
