Ellen Woodbury - Disney Animator!!




I'd love to introduce to you Ellen Woodbury. She is our newest animation faculty at the Art Institute of Colorado and no less a character animator who enjoyed a thriving career at a little known studio called "Disney" :)

She now resides in Loveland and is putting on a show of her sculpture as well as pre-production art from her work on Lion King and others.

Her write up as follows:

Loveland Museum Gallery
February 27 through April 11, 2010.
"From Magic Dust to Marble Dust,"
will feature 2 of my animated scenes (one from Aladdin and one from The Lion King) along with ruffs and model sheets, gallery cels, maquettes, and thumbnails from Hercules and The Lion King. I will have a tape loop running of some of my work on a monitor along with the Disney artwork. Also featured will be my pastel life drawing and my stone sculpture.
Opening Reception March 12. from 5-6 pm
I will present a 1-hour (or so) talk on my work as an animator and how that experience has influenced my stone sculpting career. The reception will then run until 8 pm. I will also present a bouncing ball lecture on March 20 and a flipbook-making workshop on March 27.
