The Art of Caricature with Jason Seiler

By the end of this course, master caricaturist, Jason Seiler, will have you looking at people in a whole new way! Over nine lessons, Jason will teach you through streaming lectures and one-on-one correspondence most of his personal techniques on how to maximize the effects of exaggeration and distortion when drawing faces and more importantly, how to push the truth of a subject's features without losing his or her likeness. In this course, you will draw a LOT because that is the best way to learn the importance of constant practice and to understand your subject. Your assignments will involve drawing lots of thumbnails, sketching lots of average, everyday people, and finally, doing full-color caricatures of public figures. For illustrators seeking to add high-end caricaturing to their repertoire, this course is a must!

The excitement of filmmaking can entice anyone to rush through, or completely skip, pre-production steps to jump behind the camera and start filming. Giving in to this temptation can result in mistakes and costly delays, which you can't afford when shooting a low-budget or ultra-low-budget film.

Emmy-winning director Eduardo Angel knows the importance of spending adequate time and resources in pre-production. In this course, Eduardo takes you behind the scenes, through the actual pre-production process of an ultra-low-budget film, sharing real-life insights from concept to distribution, while exploring the apps, tools, and challenges that go into each and every decision. He also looks at the most essential pre-production tasks, so you'll know what you need before you step foot on a set or arrive at your location. Eduardo shows you how to work on a shoestring budget, without compromising the integrity of your story, and even how to pre-shoot the entire film.
Topics include:
Developing the concept
Creating a treatment
Constructing the story
Writing and enhancing the script
Visualizing the story
Strategizing the story
Financing the project
Scouting locations
Assembling cast and crew
Breaking down the script into a shot list
Funding a film test
Pre-shooting and editing the pre-shoot
Selecting the right equipment
Creating a production schedule
Prepping the talent
