I’m doing an Animata workshop at the AVIT-Kezmarok festival in Slovakia on July 23.

Here is the basic outline:

Part 1: Basics of Animata
Introduction to creating real-time animations in Animata. How to use the interface. How to set up different characters and scenes from still images. Creating meshes, joints and skeletons. Simple animations inside Animata.

Part 2: External control of Animata with OSC
The real power of Animata is in the way that it can be controlled with external applications using OSC messages. Examples will be shown on how to use MIDI controllers, sound input and Arduino to control real-time animations. Software examples at least in Max/MSP and Quartz Composer. Examples on how to set up a scene for a live visualist gig.

Register for this and the other workshops at the AVIT-Kezmarok website. http://kezmarok.avit.info/
