Digital story telling

Today we had a writing seminar with Ian Staples it was really good. We had a great laugh making up stories about peter peter the pumpkin eater! Then we got serious and discussed our stories with him and got some great feedback. I just finished writing what i'm going to say and will start recording tomorrow. Still don't know what style to use. I'm sure i'll come up with something. :D

Also Richard Webb from Moseleywebb came and visited us and showed us some of the flash work they do, looked interesting.

We were set a presentation to do on a CGI animator, i was given Steve Williams, he has worked on many things latest being The Wild. My presentation on Show Zoho

Shrek 3

Well we went to see Shrek last night... the animation was ok, and some of it looked nice but there wasn't much story. However it wasn't as bad as i heard it was going to be and there was one part in the film that made me giggle uncontrollably i wont say which bit just incase anyone hasn't seen it yet... it involved a baby ogre head and the donkey thats all im saying!

Puss in boats is by far the best character... so cute!

Mike Collins

Had a wonderful talk from Mike Collins yesterday morning, his art work is incredible! here is a pic i found of him on the net...

Joanna Quinn

Awesome morning here at Cyfle, Joanna Quinn and Les Mills came for a visit and talked about their work and how they animate. Her illustrations are beautiful and her style of animation work really well. We hope to visit their studio Beryl soon.
