As part of my contract as intern I was given some funding for professional development. With this funding I chose to explore other forms of puppetry and did a week long course at The Little Angel Theater in London. For anyone who enjoys puppetry or working with their hands I highly recommend it. It was a five day course making a three man prototype designed made and taught by Peter O'Rourke (please see link below for further details). During the course I learnt many new working techniques and used a verity of tools which I hope to incorporate in future work. http://www.littleangeltheatre.com/creativelearning/4494-2/puppet-construction-course-with-peter-orourke/ I am now the proud creator of 5 new zoetropes' very very pleased now just the praxinoscope left !! Below are a few photos a video and yes that is sky whale!! Recently a few of the Bower Ashton Interns got together myself included to exhibit some of our work unfortunately we only had one night to do it in the end but all in all it was pretty successful. Featuring work by: Biddy Dymond Cassie Ireland Harry Fricker Helena Houghton Isaac Stacey Luke Gregg Here are a few photos of the event including the poster and a short clip of Isaac Stacey's visuals, will try and upload more as I find them Just a quick paper mock up of the zoetropes before I get them laser cut on Friday just to check that the design works. They do YAY! For any puppet makers interested in the props they are simply milliput cardboard cocktail sticks and paint Stepping forward with the Zoetrope design and should hopefully have a new and exiting prototype up and running soon, check the laser cutter out in action very cool and our swish new Bristol School of Animation logo created by Matthew Wood Here is a New Years Ram for you!
Hello everyone welcome back hope you all had a lovely holiday, second day back and I highly suggest everyone book a workshop to use the laser cutter where I made some awesome things today If your looking for who made that ram you can find it at https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TwoSadDonkeys?ref=l2-shopheader-name. thanks to a ball bearing joint ive recently acquired my praxinoscope is not starting to come together will be cutting up mirror soon |
