Frames Per Second magazine and Montreal ACM SIGGRAPH are proud to provide Montrealers with a rare chance to meet stop-motion animator and director Mike Johnson, who has worked on Hollywood feature films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, and Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride blends traditional stop-motion animation techniques with cutting-edge technology -- it is the first feature film to be shot using digital still cameras and composited and edited using Macintosh computers and software.

We are proud to present Mr. Johnson, who will discuss his experience in animation and the making of this film, as well as display puppets from the actual production. He will make two appearances: one daytime show for late primary and high school students, and one evening show for the general public, followed by a signing.

This event is free for all the chapter members including those who become member at the door.

If you are a chapter member or plan to become one, RESERVE YOUR TICKET IN ADVANCE in case the event is sold out! You can do so by sending us an e-mail, with a subject heading "Mike Johnson", or you can also reserve your ticket at the Electronic Theater event.
