There where some interesting talks that were given to us like the masterclass talk from Tomm Moore who is the the co producer at Cartoon Saloon and best known for being producer and director on film 'Song of the Sea' and 'The Secret of Kells'. We also got a talk on stop motion animation - armature making, which taught us about the making of characters in stop motion animation and how complicated it actually is to create a model for an animation and also how long it takes and how many people are involved in the making of just one armature puppet.
There was one talk that unfortunately I did not get to see because I was to busy doing something else in the festival and the talk was Blue Zoo: Keeping an Animation Studio Animated. I wanted to go to this talk because Blue Zoo are a 3D animation studio based down in London which I'd like to either work for or just have an internship with. There studio seems interesting and entertaining and the area of practice I'd like to go in is 3D animation and VFX which they do in there studio. Plus I follow them on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
Looking back at all the animations I watched throughout the three days one animation really stuck in my head mainly it was a stunning CGI animated short film called 'Chiaroscuro' about a ball on fire wrecking stuff but I loved it just because it looked visually beautiful and it tells a powerful story about light and darkness and the power of nature.
