Between Setpember and December 2008 I was a visiting lecturer on the Animation course at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee. I was invited to give lectures and ainmation workshops as well as help students with their on-going projects. My idea, 'Lemmings', was chosen as the concept for Framestore's latest ident, which is to be shown in the cinema in front of their films, as well as on the internet. Entered 10secondclub.net's online animation competition for March 2006, I came second. |
