Bradford Animation Festival (Friday)

Farnham Retrospective

This screening showed a collection of students work from the Farnham University of Creative arts in the last 40 years in memory of Bob Godfrey, it included a range of different styles with in the animation, such as the use of media, tone, atmosphere, the use of advertising, set to match a music track, etc.

It was interesting to see the differing work, and it gave me inspiration through how the animations shown affected the audience. For example, an animation about a mythical creature which appeared as a cat and absorb parts of humans as they came for water from the well, that was its domain, - this made the audience tense and shocked through the use of the stop motion and the sense of realism with in the model - to an animation about a cowboy filled with a simple graphic style and amusing humour - this made the audience laugh and want more shorts of the cowboy.
