Pixar artists to hold class at NEIT

EAST GREENWICH – New England Institute of Technology will host a two-day workshop, “Story and Animation Master Class,” in April at its East Greenwich campus.
This workshop will be held April 10 and 11, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and will feature two professionals from Pixar Animation Studios, Matthew Luhn and Andrew Gordon.
Luhn and Gordon will discuss what tools are needed to help create original stories and feature-quality animation. Individuals will also have an opportunity to meet and network with others in the animation industry.
Luhn began his career at Pixar Animation Studios in 1992 as an animator on the first Toy Story film. He has worked on all three Toy Story movies, as well as Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, Cars, Ratatouille, UP, Monsters University, Toy Story of Terror! and The Simpsons.
Gordon joined Pixar Animation Studios in 1997, where he has been an animator for films including A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2 & 3, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and Ratatouille.

Said Steven H. Kitchin, vice president for corporate education and training at New England Institute of Technology, “In 2012, Matthew and Andrew presented a workshop at New England Tech and captivated the participants with their knowledge and creativity. We are thrilled to have them back for an encore as part of our 75th anniversary series of workshops and events. This truly is a rare and exciting opportunity to learn from the industry’s top talent.”
Early registration is recommended as the event sold out the last time.
