Feature Speaker: Jason Ryan

Jason Ryan was a Supervising Animator at Walt Disney Animation Studios for almost twelve years and now he is a supervising Animator at DreamWorks Animation Studios.
After graduating from the European School of Animation (aka Senior College, Ballyfermot), Ireland in 1993, with a student of the year award from Don Bluth (creator of An American Tail and Land Before Time), Jason started straight in as a 2D animator working on various German feature Productions.  After a brief time in London as an Animator in computer games he got the call from Disney Animation Studios in 1995 to animate on Fantasia 2000 (Tin Soldier segment), Dinosaur (Kron and Carnataur), animation supervisor on Magic Lamp (CG genie in 3D), animation supervisor on Philharmagic (classic Disney characters in CG and 3D) and supervising animator on Chicken Little (chicken little himself).  At Dreamworks Animation Jason was a supervising animator on the movie Monsters Versus Aliens and is currently a supervising animator on Shrek4.

While working back in Ireland as an animator he also worked as a classical animation Instructor for the European School of Animation, and while working on Chicken Little Jason also worked as a mentor with Animationmentor.com.

Jason Ryan will demonstrate in his workshop a step by step walk through of how he sets up a shot, fromblocking the shot in 2d through the final 3d animated scene.
