Hey, everyone, I've decided that it's time once again to bring back the Plympton Animation School. It was about three years ago when I last held my super-popular set of Master Classes, but that was during the pandemic and we had to hold the class remotely via Zoom.
Since I've finished my latest animated feature, "Slide", I have some free time to get back to teaching, and I hope YOU can join me to learn the secrets of creating animated films. By the end of the course, you should have your very own original animated short, which you can then enter in festivals or post on YouTube.
I want to start the classes on March 10, 2025 and finish on the last Monday in April - that will be eight 90-minute classes. I will be drawing, showing films and speaking about my own experiences. I will take questions and critique the work being done by the students.
Here's a list of the topics that the classes will cover:
1. Introduction: concepts, ideas, influences, financing
2. Creating an outline & characters
3. Fundraising, budget & schedules
4. Storyboarding
5. Layouts & backgrounds
6. Animation & coloring
7. Editing, music & voices
8. Festivals, distribution, contracts & promotion
The price will be $1,500 for the eight classes. So please sign up by sending us an e-mail to studio@plymptoons.com and tell your friends to check out Bill Plympton's Animation School. All students will receive a diploma after the last class.
If you can't attend the classes in NYC on Monday nights, we will be offering an option to watch videos of all of the classes for just $1,000. And if that's not a viable option for you, we can schedule an individual portfolio review by me for $300 that fits your schedule.
Payment can be made via Zelle or Venmo, please e-mail us for details.
This is a rare chance to learn the secrets of animation from a festival veteran, two-time Oscar nominee and Annie Award Lifetime Achievement winner, someone who has directed nine animated features and over 50 animated shorts.
See you there!
-Bill Plympton
