While i was quite busy with my photography and greeting duties at MAF i did also get the oppertunity to sit in some very interesting showings and speakers. Some of my favorites were Tom Moore, Tim Searl, and the showing of Bob Godfrey's Great.
Tom Moores talk really inspired me, i hadn't had any encounters with cartoon saloon before his talk, and after seeing the unique hand painted with digital drawing over the top i was feeling very inspired. I definitly want to impliment more watercolours and textures into my animation. I also loved the fact that the studio struggles with perspective so they pretty much don't use it, which really spoke to me because i struggle so much with perspective myself.
Tim Searl didn't inspire me so much, and to be honest i believe his talk it where my distaste for UK animation began, but it was very entertaining, and despite it not inspiring me it was nice to see how an animator begins and develops through his working like, understanding methods of moving on from failed projects.
Bob Godfrey's great was really interesting to watch because i have always enjoyed history, so seeing a british animation from 40 years ago and having some experts talking about how it was made, and why and stuff. it was cool.
