After having the late night previously I was shattered the next morning but this didn't dampen my excitement for another day of BAF 2010!
Up first was..
Channel 4's Clare Kitson - A Caring Eye
'Channel 4 was set up, in 1981, by an Act of Parliament which incorporated a very special set of instructions. The programming was to be innovative, challenging and appealing to the audience hitherto not well served by television. While many programmes were entertaining, entertainment was never the prime motive. Issues, big and small were tackled by all departments, animation being no exception.'
Whilst some of this was very interesting and intriguing the rest was quite dull and not very interesting at all and after a while I turned off. What I got from this was that animation can be used for more than entertainment and can be used to put across a message quite powerfully in a way that people are made to think.
Paul Mendoza from Pixar!
'Paul has been in the animation business for thirteen years. He was influenced by Miyazaki's early films as well as the early disney films, to pursue animation as a career. Paul studied at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and was subsequently hired by Pixar in 1997 where he has worked on nine films, including The Incredibles and Ratatouille, and was an animation lead on Cars. He is currently working in pre-production on Pixar's 2012 release, Brave.
Paul will talk about how he came to
