OUAN492 - PPP:
Later last week the "Animation Crew" decided to take a trip to the National Media Museum in Bradford to take part in BAF (Bradford Animation Festival) which of course is an annual event held there in early November. During our visit we saw lots of great animations from professionals and students alike and got a lot of helpful tips and ideas on what we can do to make ourselves as animators successful.
On our first day of BAF, we saw a collection of students' animations all of which were shorts and lasted from 5-10 minutes each roughly. Firstly, we saw Professional 1 which consisted of Boles, In The Air is Christopher Gray (A personal favourite due to it's amazing humour!), Butterflies, The River's Lazy Flow (Wasn't so keen on this as the characters were purposefully made unattractive and the whole story for some reason made me feel a bit squeamish), Palmipedarium (This one really pulled at the heart strings as the little boy who was brought up to hunt birds ends up saving a rather unusual bird in the end.) and Canis... Canis is a rather frightening tale with a moral of "survival of the fittest" and so on. It was very controversial and extremely gory and graphic; not a massive fan.
We also saw Student 1 which consisted of The Kiosk (I thought this was very creative as a rotund lady who owns a kiosk find herself living there as she simply can't fit through the door - she goes on an adventure and makes her business elsewhere!), The Dewberry Empire, The Bungles Child (of which made me feel a bit sorry for the conjoined twins as they end up dying due to their mother's selfishness!), Plug & Play, The Carousel Family (Which made me think that the creator mustn't have been in the right state of mind to create this...), First Light, Ab Ovo, But Milk is Important (A touching story about mental health and and how man overcomes his anxiety thanks to a cute little cotton wool monster who follows him around everywhere!) and When One Stops.
