Palacio de la Merced, November 5^th-9^th.

Once again this year, the Animation workshops will be one of the most sought after activities for the public. With these workshops, those who come to the Palacio de la Merced during Animacor’07 will have the chance to practice drawing, learn the beginnings of character creation and design, and even make their own animation.

In this third year of the Festival, we must highlight some of the new features, since in addition to the Drawing Workshop, there will also be two rooms for those who would like to apply 3D animation techniques in the Beginning Workshop for the Creation of 3D Models for Video Games. This will be put on by the DeSEA Association (Software Developers for Entertainment and Art), who will teach the workshop participants the basics for beginning in the world of digital animation.

And, once again, we will have the Backgrounds Workshop run by Higashi Taruma, the director of the Backgrounds Department at Milímetros S.A.In addition to the open demonstrations for the public, this year the visitors will be able to practice making their own background designs following instructions from Higashi himself.
