From 23 to 27 January 2023 Computer Animation and Visual effects students will have the opportunity to attend a masterclass with the storyboard artist and animator Giovanna Ferrari, active throughout Europe and with 20 years’ experience in the industry.
During the masterclass, students will fully understand what a storyboard is and what it is used for, how to go from the written word to the image, how to use cinematic rules to express emotions, and to break patterns, how to face the blank page and not be afraid of it.
Giovanna will guide the students in their search for answers to these fundamental questions, to help them refine and orientate their approach to the important art of storytelling.
