Saw a workshop today from the Ottawa Animation Festival entitled “The Animated Characters of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” which had the lead animator Rob Coleman talk about his work on the movie as well as showing us various animation shots.
Let’s be honest. I’m a Star Wars geek. I dig this stuff up. I was really impressed with the workshop but at the same time thought about all the other geeks sitting at the show wondering if he would show us some deleted scenes or have George Lucas himself magically appear. The best thing I got was a blooper animation of Count Dooku doing a somersault in the air and having his cape fall over his head while he was trying to swing a lightsaber. Sweet.
Thanks to Veronique for pushing me to go even though it was 11:00 and I was already late.
