More Annecy Pics

Thanks to Nana, I now have even more Annecy pics...


Taking a breather by the big pond, before heading inside again for another viewing.



It was so beautiful by the lake. We challenged the Danish to a boat race of epic proportions, however in true British style, it rained. We would have won anyway... although, perhaps not knowing my driving... **CRASH!**

BA Animation

Hello Georgia. Hello Jo.
This was on our way to visit the 'Royal Acadamy of Music' in London. We had previously worked together in groups of 4 (3 animators, 1 musician) with the other students to create short films. We called it the RAM project. We watched a short performance from some of the more 'interesting' composers, and then watched the films. It was fun!





Here's me animating upside down - The secret's in the extra strong hold hair gel.
Hey - look!
If you play these images back and forth, one after the other, it is *REALLY FUNNY!!!!

*If you are Kathy. Or very bored.






Some how this UWE sweat top gave me a hard edge. Yeah bring it sister.



And that was our very last day at Uni. Congratulations everyone, it was worth it.



Here we all are waiting to be loaded into a giant horizontal hamster's wheel. Our tutor was making a commissioned film for Channel 4 and we were all extras for the day. It was great! We each stood around the inside of the ride holding up an image, and as we were filmed from above at a certain speed, the animation came into effect. Everytime he pressed a fog horn we had to swap over images to make the next sequence. I don't even know if I should be divulging this top secret information but I guess if you don't hear from me within 2 weeks you can assume I have been taken out by ninja assasins.




'Mad Hatter's' illustration fundraiser. I was quite pleased with my hash in a dash 10-second-attempt at a mask! Ripped into shape with my bare teeth.




Animating 'Paper Bag Lady'. It's a hard life.

Hello this is me.




New Year's Eve - Natz and I enjoying the night air on the Clifton suspension bridge. We were treated to an array of fireworks, views, and loud old men on bicyles.



And... this is Kathy off her medication...

Annecy

aah Annecy... the beautifully peaceful mountainous land of cheese, wine, and yes a huge whopping great big animation festival!





Nadine, can I please have my sunglasses back now?





Overall it was a great week - Nadine and I met many wonderful people. I saw many films (including a great one from these lovely Danes ABOVE at 'Ya Film') but best of all I enjoyed watching 'Charlie and Lola' and 'Shaun the Sheep' *baaa!* However,I keep kicking myself because YET AGAIN I missed 'Peter and the Wolf'. One day folks. One day.
