Dates & Times:03/08/2012 :: 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM Cinematic Storytelling, an examination of storytelling in film, is a look at the theory and application of visual design to narrative storytelling. Cinematic storytelling conveys meaning, emotion, and mood in the service of story. Looking across a range of feature films and animations, design choices can be examined for their clarity of intent—how the visuals reinforce, complicate, or contradict the intents of the story.

A veteran of the Pixar Animation Studios art department for more than 15 years, Holmes has had the privilege to work with and learn from some of the industry’s most successful storytellers, artists, and craftspeople. With a background in environment design, graphic design, and art direction—as well as writing fiction and screenplays—Holmes continues to explore how each craft can inform the other.

Holmes’ talk is sponsored by the Animation Department.
