Birds of a Feather Discussion: ASIFA-Hollywood's Animation Educators Forum Asks: Can Open Source Software & Tools Be Used Effectively in Animation Education?

On August 1, 2017, the AEF held a 58 minute discussion at SIGGRAPH 2017 in Los Angeles, California. Discussion Contributors Danny Young (ASIFA-Hollywood Boardmember and Animator at FuseFX), William Joel (Professor of Computer Science and Director of Graphics Research Group at Western Connecticut State University) and Corban Gossett (Senior Product Manager at Nimble Collective and Co-Chair for the Digital Production Symposium) shared their experiences and research in open source software and discussed its potential use in teaching the skills, concepts and procedures that are utilized by the Animation industry.
