2 Day Storyboard Workshop with Jane Wu (storyboard artist on Avengers~!!)

Wow~ this is turning out a great week for Avenger fans :)

In 2009, I had the pleasure of working with Jane Wu on the production of Gatchaman at Imagi studio. After the show, many of the talented storyboard team including Jane have moved on to other projects include the summer blockbuster, "The Avengers".

On June 25th & 29th (Monday & Friday, 7~10PM), Jane will be teaching a 2 day workshop on the Storyboard Essentials over at Gallery Nucleus.

If you are a fan of Avengers (wanted to see some of the behind the scene story artworks), a fan of animation, or an aspiring storyboard artist, I would strongly recommend checking out the workshop. You will be in for a treat~!
