Caroline Leaf workshop

This afternoon I attended the workshop with Caroline Leaf hosted by the Filmpool. Animators were able to bring some of their work to show to her and the rest of the group for discussion. We started with Dan Wright and "Treadman", which is a fantastic sand animation from 1997 that Dan made inspired in part by Caroline's work. Caroline was consulted on in for technique and story, but she'd never met Dan face to face. A good meeting. I showed an excerpt from "Modern", it went over well. Some solid discussion about optical illusions of whether or not the action was speeding up or not. It was just a one minute clip, but appropriate for the event.
