Sensations Of The Seasons : Animators Diary 2

British Animation Awards 2008

As described on the BAA website - The British Animation Awards (BAA) covers all aspects of the UK animation scene, from student work to commercials, children’s entertainment, short and experimental art films, music videos, new technologies. BAA is held every two years; and the Awards Night is March 13th 2008. The Public Choice (as part of BAA) gives you the chance to vote for 3 BAA winners. A selection of short animation films are showing at 28 venues across England giving you the chance to see some smashing animation spread over three days. Find out more HERE. I’ve just watched the Public Choice selection at Portsmouth University .. and know who I’m rooting for. So if your interested in seeing a free showcase of the best of British animation, then I highly recommend you find out when a three day showing is near to you and run along to vote … run, run, run. Here is a selection of some of my personal favorite animators competing…. Osbert Parker with ‘Yours Truly’ … Tim Marchant  ’Tidy Monster’ Joanna Quinn ’Dreams and Desires : Family Ties’   Joe Tucker ’For the love of God’
