Watch live on February 23rd!
Intro
Hosted by Senior Product Manager, Erica Schisler, this month, we explore ways to deliver top-notch animation in music videos using Adobe Character Animator.
Demo
See the latest enhancements to Character Animator — including Puppet Maker and Transcript-based Lip Sync.
Joining Erica in conversation about their recent music video animation efforts, and sharing something each is proud to highlight are:
— Konee Rok
— Seth Zeichner
— Jim Tews
Animated music videos have been created since the beginning of music-based film and video production. And new technology is making it easier than ever to create beautifully visual and high quality videos. Using animation can further demonstrate the emotional element of the music. Join us as we talk to three animators and discuss their approaches to creating the animated music video.
Konee Rok
Konee Rok, an award-winning filmmaker known for his work with many popular artists in hip-hop, rap, and breakdancing culture. He’s a director, documentarian and animator. And he created the distinct animated visuals for DJ Aktive’s music video “The City” ft. Common, Jazzy Jeff, Freeway, and Bri Steves. https://koneerok.com/

Seth Zeichner
Seth started out as a traditional cartoonist and artist but as the industry moved to digital, he landed his first big job was working on “Blue’s Clues”. Over the years he’s worked on a variety of projects including the independent animated film, The Realm Beyond Reason. More recently he collaborated with Pat Moriarity on the animated music video for the Replacements “Shutup” music video.

Jim Tews
Comedian and writer Jim Tews is the creator of the New York Times Bestseller “Felines of New York.” He made his stand-up television debut on Last Comic Standing. He's been seen on FX, NBC, SeeSo, and TBS. His recent comedy album “I Was In Band” debuted at #3 on the iTunes comedy charts. He’s also realized animation is a great way to bring his ideas to life and to tell the stories he wanted to tell, without setting up lights and camera equipment. Jim created a video for Weezer, which was endorsed by the band. His other work includes characters, commercial parodies, and standup.
