Block 1 Tackles a Realistic Head


After their previous project, The Short Bus Superstars, the students were ready to begin the task of creating a photo real human head. Using photographs of students from different angles to use as reference, the students began constructing a head over a four day period.

“I had no idea that my second organic model would end up being a realistic head. I was intimidated by the idea at first, but once I got into the process of modeling, it really came together,” said Block 1 student Lorenzo Mastrobuono, “This is exactly the type of work that brought me to the school and it’s exciting that I’m already doing it after only 2 months of training!”
DreamWorks artist Kory Returns to The DAVE School


Kory Heinzen from DreamWorks Animation came back to The DAVE School to talk about what he does at DreamWorks and what goes into the production of a movie. He talked about the look-development of a movie and how, using Photoshop, he comes up with a visual look and style for a movie that all the colors are based off of for the design of the movie. Kory has worked on such movies as Madagascar I and II and Shrek II and III.

Student Gabe Cassata had to say, "From a production standpoint, he brought so much to our Block 4 movie, Tofu. He went over our shots and showed us how to change lighting or where to add elements. The time spent was invaluable."
