Interview with
Animator BS KIM
Question.01
What do you consider your strengths when you work?
I pay attention to various parts of the work process and try to apply such insights in practice. My fields of interest include scenes that feature actions as well as the everyday life of characters, animating animals, which even professionals struggle with, and planning and filming animations on your own. Through this class, I want to share every bit of my practical expertise and tips for making animations solo, drawing upon my various experiences.
Question.02
What kind of challenges can learners overcome if they take this class?
What makes animation difficult is that although we are all familiar with anime, few understand the process behind it. You may know its nuances, but showing them through drawing is a different matter. With this class, however, you’ll work on various hands-on exercises, study the practical process, and apply it to your work, giving physical forms to the knowledge that you only understood as concepts before.
Question.03
What are the purpose and unique qualities of this class?
This class comes with exercises that allow you to learn filming instructions frequently used in Japan’s anime industry and basic animation knowledge for actions and effects, in addition to practicing filming yourself. You’ll be able to understand the practical work process for creating animations on your own and gain the fundamental knowledge required to work in the industry.
