Kenny Roy shares more info about his course and the book he will publish based on the course experience:
I (Kenny) have been approved by my publisher to write a book on Short Film Workflow and am using my 5 or so years of experience teaching short film production as well as my studio experience to deliver a start-to-finish manual for people who want to make a short film at home. What sets it apart from Inspired Short Film or Ideas for the Animated Short is the fact that it not only creatively but technically walks you through the entire process.
First and foremost! This book is not about The Little Painter, that is my own project and separate from the course, and also outside the purview of the book.
The film itself is non-profit, and any and all proceeds that come from the film will be donated to charity (there will probably be nothing anyway, but we should establish this from the get go, we're not Digital Domain). For the most part, the shots in the film will be all in layout stage by the time the workshop begins. The shots students work on at Anomalia for the short film course will be featured in the book, and distributed with the book as well. David and I are interested in bringing as much exposure to Anomalia as we can and our hope is to have Press on the last day to screen the film as an event. If students are interested in providing brief interviews, I may include those in the book. On the other hand if you would not like to be involved at all, we can keep your exposure down to just a credit in the book and on the film. Each day of the course will start with lecture and instruction on a phase of the short film process, followed by a break and then working individually on your shots with 1-on-1 feedback as I go around the class. We'll have dailies first thing in the morning and then do it all over again. At the end of week 2, we'll have, with a little luck, the animation completed and a nice little film to show off. Participants at Anomalia will definitely be receiving a free copy of the book and the film on DVD or BluRAY.
