See three free talks by top animators this Saturday

Updated 29 May: The speaker line-up for the event has changed since we originally posted this story, with Tobias Dahl stepping in for his EA DICE colleague Marco Marenghi. The line-up below is currently correct.

Three leading animators will be revealing the secrets of their craft this weekend at Action: The Animator’s Process – a day of free talks at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects.

The day kicks off with Riot Games senior animator – and Pixar, Bungie and Blizzard veteran – Tomas Jech.

He will be followed by Blur Studio senior animator and Annie Award-winner Yvain Gnabro, who has worked at studios including ILM, MPC, Psyop and Pixomondo.

The event concludes with a talk from DICE animation director Tobias Dahl. With over 18 years of professional experience, Tobias has worked on titles such as Medal of Honor, Mirror’s Edge, and the Battlefield franchise.
