Tony Samangy, Associate Professor in the Myers School of Art will talk March 6th at noon, in Folk Hall 107 regarding his summer research in the design, engineering and construction of stop-motion maquette puppets. The discussion will touch on tools and materials such as silicone and resin plastics as well as the processes of molding, casting and 3D printing required to produce the miniature posable characters.

Samangy specializes in the areas of interactive design and motionography, (the design of motion and animation for communication.) He also writes and produces short films, music videos and animations. His most recent project brings together his various areas of research in the form of a stop-motion animated short film, The Eucalyptus Tree.
