I’d like to tell you lovely lot that this Sunday the 8th of September is
Animated Eden, Cumbria's First International Short Animation Film Festival. This
is a one day pilot animation festival to help raise money for next year’s much
bigger festival and screenings; it will be awesome if we could get as many of
you, the Animation gang to come along.
I'm also very happy to say that my film The Piper will be getting screened as
part of the festival. So to all you guys who have seen my making of posts and
not seen the final film this will be a perfect chance for you to see The Piper
on the big screen.
After the screening I will be taking part in a Q&A on stage where I will be
talking about the making of process for the film and taking questions from the
audience. You will also have the chance to meet The Piper cast as I will have
the puppets on stage with me and they will be on display throughout the
day.
If you are a stop motion animator or fan you will be delighted to hear that the
incredibly talented Mr Barry Purves will be given what is bound to be a very
inspiring talk all about is experience working in animation and why he still
animates with puppets. Barry will also be screening a selection of his own
short films. I first met Barry in 2010, in them three years I have gotten to
know him very well and now regard him as a good friend. I highly recommend that
you come to this talk; you will leave with a big creative buzz.
I should also mention that the festival shop / stand will be selling The Piper
crew T-shirts size medium only for £8 and badges for 50p. So if you liked The
Piper and would like to support my work please come and buy one.
So come on down or up, the festival is free, so what more could you want!!
However they do ask for a donation to help run this first and future
events.
