Traditional animation panel!

Hi all!

I'm with the Wolf Movie project (www.wolfmovie.com) and one of the most commonly asked questions we get is "HOW DO YOU ANIMATE?!"

I thought it might be fun to have an animation workshop at AC this year and show people the very basics to getting started with traditional animation, as well as talk a little about the various options (which programs to use, what kind of tools you need, etc.).  This wouldn't involve every aspect of animation but just maybe be a primer on how you even start and what animation even IS (at least the kind we do on Wolf, though I personally have extensive knowledge of Flash animation and may cover how traditional animation factors into something like that too....if there is time!)

I also want it to be interactive and provide materials so people can try their hand at some simple animation.  I'll be bringing a laptop and a webcam so we can capture the animations and people can play them back and see them, too!

I'd love to hear any feedback on this idea: any suggestions or comments are welcome!
