Comment:
Don't take the class if you don't have any Western animation background. He believes in the old traditional animation. Computer generated or Eastern animation (like Japanese anime) is not what he is looking for. The class itself is relaxing, you can enjoy the cartoon that he shows. However, the paper is what makes you struggled.

He's great to have for history and very funny, but in the intro to animation class he doesn't really teach that well.

His Storyboard class is not great, sometimes he says something is good an another he just dislikes it. Make sure work is very tidy. Look up some storyboard reference, study old cartoons because he likes the old masters humor.

Comment:
He's 80 years old!! He's full of info. He speaks softly so it's best to sit near the front as he doesn't use the microphone often. You watch films in class and write research papers. He gives out his book for free; you'll learn and retain more info if you listen in class and read the book at home. Be prepared to sit uncomfortably in the auditorium.

Probably the best class you will ever take in SVA. The beginning is a very informative and very funny lecture, the second half of class you watch cartoons. This teacher is one of a kind, take advantage while he's here, he's old.
