Lunch with Animator Lyndon Barrois
Lyndon Barrois arrived in March 2006 for a four-day residency with the Sonja Haynes Stone Center. The Los Angeles based artist and film animator conducted student workshops including one with youth enrolled in the Stone Center’s Communiversity Program, an after-school academic and cultural enrichment program. As one of the few African Americans working at his level in Hollywood today, Barrois represents the pinnacle of intellectual and creative achievement in computer-generated film animation. The award-winning animator is best known for his work as supervisor or director of animation for such films as Elektra, I Robot, The Matrix Revolutions, The Matrix Reloaded, Scooby Doo, and Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Barrois is also known as the innovator behind “gumation”—characters fashioned from chewing gum wrappers and captured through stop-motion filming.
On Tuesday, March 7, Barrois joined students at the James M. Johnston Center for lunch and discussion of his career, the film industry, and animation.
A complete listing of all events at the Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence is available at our Event Calendar.
