Join other local animation talent, for an evening of networking and animation industry focused conversation.

All animators are welcome, whether they work in pencil and paper, stop motion, 3D or 2D computer animators.


To kick off the first meeting, we'll also have a presentation! John Catlin presents a primer to animating real robots and the challenges that this particular medium presents. He will give a live demonstration of animating on an Aldebaran's NAO humanoid robot.

John Catlin is a local free-lance animator who worked for Aldebaran-Robotics to help them create robot applications for local and international markets. NAO is a small humanoid robot available in more than 70 countries, he is used in computer and science classes, from primary school through to university. Thanks to NAO, students can learn programming in a fun and practical way. They can program him to walk, catch small objects and even dance!

You can find out more about NAO at http://www.aldebaran.com/en/humanoid-robot/nao-robot. You can find out more about John at http://johncatlin.weebly.com/.

Come out to Microsoft New England R&D Center at 7:00PM to talk animation and robots!
