I took a ridiculous amount of notes during the Bill Plympton class. He explained a lot of things about his animating style and production pipeline that i could use in my own animations. In addition to that he showed a lot of his films and would even go through his process making him.
I do wish it was a bit longer, but for four hours, he knew how to keep us interested. His drawings were quick, but really captivating. The simplicity of his dog was surprising; I expected it to take longer to draw.
Speaking of dogs, his dog films are my favorite. I'm surprised I have never seen them before. They were all amazing films; even more amazing considering the way he is able to capture the viewer's interest despite animating keyframes only. That said, he has really strong sound in his animations.
I wish his class was longer, but for the 4 hours he talked, drew pictures, and made caricatures, it was my favorite visiting artist presentation this semester. It's too bad every artist is not that engaging during their presentations.
