EAWLC Zoom Learning for Curious People: Into the Animation World

Dawei Sun came to Canada in the year of 2000, with a computer science background.  He got involved in the field of animation design when working as a software engineer, and found himself fascinated with it.  He went to a 3year program at Seneca College, and obtained a diploma in Animation. Since then he has been working in the Animation/VFX and Game industry for over 12 years,playing different roles, such as rigging artist, character effect artist and technical director.  He is currently a senior technical director who helps build pipelines for animation and visual effects productions at Tangent Animation, a Canadian studio that created the Netflix movie “Next Gen”.  Other movies he did include “Nut Job: and “Nut Job 2” by Toonbox Entertainment, and “A Christmas Carol” by Walt Disney Pictures.  He is also a mentor for juniors who are new to the industry and the pipeline in various studios.  Dawei likes playing basketball in his spare time.  He and his wife live in Milton, with their two kids.  He enjoys accompanying them, and playing chess or Go with the 12-year-old girl and 8-year-old boy.

 

 

We are so happy that Dawei is coming to our club to show us around the world of animation!  What are the diffrences between traditional animation, computer graphics animation and stop motion animation?  How is a 3d animated movie made?  What kind of roles are there in a studio and what do they do?  How did his experience at Seneca College prepare him for his career in the animation industry?  Are there some good programs or resources he would like to recommend to listeners who might want to go to the industry as well?  How is the job market now?  How to network in the industry?  … It’s gonna be a very interesting expedition.  And you are welcome to bring your own questions — don’t forget to ask Dawei about his encounter with Hayao Miyazaki!
