EPISODE 204: EARLY ANIMATED FILMS

"Gobo the Basketball"

Airs Feb 4 at 9:00 pm
Features "Gobo: The Basketball", "8 Minutes at 325 Degrees," and "Nocturnal," with former student Todd Wahlquist and faculty hosts Brent Adams and Kelly Loosli.


BYU animation faculty members Brent Adams and Kelly Loosli discuss the painstaking process of computer animation and claymation in early works by ambitious student pioneers which laid the foundation for BYU's current animation program. As we feature these early works, the discussions focus on the resources available over a decade ago, and how the animation department has evolved since those early years.
