animation

How do you think animations are made? These days they're probably made with a computer, right? Well, for the most part you're right, but right here in Rochester is Animatus Workshop, an animation studio that's committed to old school techniques. They draw their animations by hand, cell by cell. Take a look. Aired 6/9/17

Local artists, David Cowles and Maria Friske, have collaborated for over two decades. They started out working together as illustrators for the Democrat & Chronicle and have been thick as thieves ever since. David has gained notoriety around the world for his animation and illustration work and Maria has gained a following for her depictions of Rochester and it's residents. Take a look at their most recent collaboration, Rhythm and Hues. Aired 3/10/17.
