iAnimate Student Spotlight - Kentarou Niina 新名健太郎
Kentarou Niina 新名健太郎 was my student this past summer block in Feature Workshop 5 - Full Body Acting at iAnimate and he did a fantastic job on the shot above. Kentarou made a lasting impression on me in my WS5 class because he understood that re-recording reference will give you specifics to your acting. Every time, I would ask if he could re-record just a small section of the shot above... he jumped on it, pluss-ed the acting and made it his own! He also had a female friend create reference for him to get even more specific to how a female might act this assignment out. Finally, what sets Kentarou apart was his attention to detail on fingers, facial and spacing. All of these specific placements give his shots life and that is what we are all about as animators.
Check out Kentarou's work here!

Disney's CG Jungle Book Cast
Director Jon Favreau has pulled together an incredible cast that not only includes Christopher Walken and Giancarlo Esposito, but also Scarlett Johansson, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong'o, Ben Kingsley and newcomer Neel Sethi.
In the new Jungle Book, Giancarlo Esposito will lend his voice to Akela, the leader of the wolf pack who takes in the abandoned Mowgli.
Lupita Nyong'o, who broke through with her debut role in 12 Years a Slave to Oscar accolades, will play Mowgli's adopted mother, a wolf called Rakcha.
Ben Kingsley will channel his intensity into the role of the black panther Bagheera, whose voice in the orginal book is described as "as soft as wild honey dripping from a tree."
In an unexpected but clever move, Scarlett Johansson was cast as Kaa. Voiced in the animated movie by male voice actor Sterling Holloway, the hypnotizing snake will have an added and sultry appeal coming from the actress who sold Her with her voice alone.
Idris Elba will bring his thunderstorm of a voice to the cunning and killer cat of the jungle Shere Khan, a role voiced by George Sanders in the animated movie.
And last but not least is little Neel Sethi as Mowgli, the hero of our adventure, whom was voiced by Bruce Reitherman back in 1967.
There's one notable absence in the cast so far: Baloo the Bear. Originally voiced by Phil Harris, the character was spun-off into his own series TailSpin, and became a much-beloved character for kids of the '90s, as well. So where is he? We'll give you more on The Jungle Book's casting as it develops.
