Tony Mullen is a lecturer in computer science at Tsuda College in Tokyo where he has taught courses in modelling and animation with Blender and programming in Python, among other things. He is an independent filmmaker, writer and animator with experience in both CG animation and stop-motion. He has written a series of Japanese language tutorials on Blender for the magazine MacPeople in Japan and is finishing up work on his first book, Introducing Character Animation with Blender to be published by Sybex in March, 2007.
I am currently in the middle of writing a book on character animation with Blender, to be published by Sybex, an imprint of Wiley, late this year or early next. At the conference, I will give a short overview of the content of this book. Depending on the exact timing of the editing process, there may also be time for me to make some last minute changes in the material in response to feedback I get at the conference.
