Sketch Theatre collects step-through demonstration videos of artists from comics, film and game design, animation and related fields.
Created by Alex Alvarez, founder and director of the Gnomon School of Visual Effects and the Gnomon Workshop, and produced by Lily Feliciano, Sketch Theater allows artists in these fields to give quick instructional demonstrations that pass on some of their techniques and working methods to other interested artists.
Some are longer and more elaborate, others are short, but usually still informative. Many are extracted from longer instructional DVD’s offered commercially by Gnomon Workshop, but usually stand on their own as a demonstration piece.
The videos are all shown within the amusing conceit of a mock theater interface.
There is a list of artists, apparently arranged alphabetically by first name, many of whom have more than one video clip.
There are also video interviews with a number of the artists, news, a forum and a store.
