To South Kensington and Beyond

I returned from a work trip to Denmark to discover that everyone in London appears to be talking about animation at the moment...


In South Kensington, the Science Museum is running an exhibition entitled "Pixar: 20 Years of Animation", this is supplemented by a series of talks and a competition. The talks span a wide range of topics and the speakers are respected names in the academic and animation industry. Book early to avoid disapointment!

Over at the National Portrait Gallery there is a special screening of Contemporary Animation with Iain Sinclair followed by a discussion with guest film makers. I'm not quite sure what they mean by Contemporary Animation but as it's an art gallery, I presume it's animation from the same period as contemporary art which should make for a very interesting talk.

Whilst looking for some inspiration on a viewfinder shot for the "Fleacam", I stumbled across the blog of another animator, T R Norton and also Angry Puppet Films which was good but it wasn't what I needed, looks like I'll just have to use my imagination...
