Bradford Animation Festival

I really enjoyed the animation festival and saw it as a display for me to work out what I liked and didnt like about animation. I thought it could help me decide and define what my style is.

Overall I found the ones that communicated to me the most were ones with slight mannerisms well observed, the funny ones and of course the music videos.

Here are a few highlights of the festival for me:


Ali in the jungle by the hours
animation: Jonas Odell
Really complicated but enough to get my head round, really visually exciting with a clear theme and stylistic approach.


Pushkin by Trevor Hardy
The Power of the catchphrase, we said this for about 4 days! funnily enough its English, i don't know whether I would like to do intricate model making though, not with plasticine or clay anyway


Mermaid by Lucy Barcy Really interesting animation style that really appeals to me, a crazy narrative that I quite liked


The Tourists by Malcolm Sutherland this is a great observation and he has also created another good animation thats on you tube called Birdcall

the leftovers by Igor Coric MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE really funny and I think well observed, love the one frame.
I've chosen to make a reference for this festival in my sketchbook to remind me of what I want to see more of in my work visually and contextually.



John and Karen by Matthew Walker, Really well observed mannerisms placed onto an unlikely couple john the polar bear and karen the penguin
