Ss1:Canimation here! Bristol Encounters update.

                   Canimation Entered,Encounters was just that in a networking perspective.

Well here it is folks! 'No Bull' my Canimation entry for the student stop motion area, there are still acting out scenes tests to come in a later post, there are two weeks to get as many views,comments and likes for my animation the top 10 get put infront of a pannel to decide the winner.
 recent activity incudes entering Canimation, i went down to Bristol to Encounters where i was inspired after meeting the likes of David Sproxton and Jon K got some golden advice from David and a picture with jon k. I will first show my animation then talk about Encounters.

                                    30 second stop motion animation by Gareth Hirst.

From now until my Specialist study deadline i will be working on animating my charcter only,what i mean is when specialising in stop motion you get the likes of set building,armature making,rigging and of course more but what i would like to do is strictly animate.
For the next couple of days il be looking at buster keaton and picking apart a small scene and reinact it with my animation abilitys with my Armature.

Great to see a lot of his work up on the big screen and talk to him, such a character and a real nice guy.

Really appreciated this and will have a better quality when John uploads to his blog.
