Movement, Acting and Character consultant, Myrna Gawryn
MYRNA GAWRYN works with animators and directors to develop physical behaviour, relationship to other characters, context within story, and anatomical detail — all the components that make animation truly alive and specific.
BY NOTICING the details of character, environment, and relationship, and exploring and refining the physicality of these details in shot preparation, imagined situations, reference, and team and one-on-one consultation, Myrna helps animators develop advanced skills for creating truly powerful visual and physical storytelling.
She has taught and consulted in the area of character behaviour and development, and visual storytelling at DREAMWORKS and DISNEY, as well as LOYOLA MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY in Los Angeles, LUCASFILM and CG PROTEGE in Singapore, GOBELINS and ANNECY in France, the GOBELINS INTERNATIONAL MASTERCLASS PROGRAM worldwide, GRIFFITH FILM SCHOOL in Australia, THE ONE ACADEMY in Malaysia and THE NORMAL UNIVERSITY in Taiwan.
