Nyosha was a great stop motion film mixed with 2D animation, telling a true story from the holocaust, it was really effective using animation to tell a story on a difficult subject matter.
Next was Carn, a story of a boy who makes a deal with a wolf, I really liked the style of this animation, it reminded me a bit of shadow puppets.
The next selection I saw I wasn't too keen on, apart from Ursus, which was a story of a bear in a circus, it was done in charcoal and I liked the use of contrast, especially how they used black paper with white chalk to really emphasize the dark.
Then I was straight into a talk with Mark Shapiro from LAIKA studios, as the head of marketing, Shapiro showed a lot of behind the scenes footage and all the viral campaigns that were released, as it came out just after the Olympics they made special trailers to relate to the hype which I thought was clever. There was a chance to see the puppets after but because of life drawing I didn't get to see them.
My final event for the day was life drawing with Joanna Quinn, this was really great and we did alot of life drawing exercises that i'd never tried before. One that I really liked was spending 5 minutes drawing only the outline of the figure, then five minutes just focusing on the middle and the detail. They can all be found on my Flickr.
