London Animation Club

During our work experience with Fiona at Matter and Co. Fiona took us to the monthly London Animation Club.

Olly Brown, Vivien Halas, Jez Stewart, Emma Calder and Ged Haney

The event was an incredible experience. We watched the animation Know Your Europeans by Bob Godfrey and others. I in particular liked the animation Know Your Europeans - Germany. The animation was very bizarre and incredibly fast paced yet I found the animation aesthetic to be incredibly successful. 

After each screening the special guests explained the process of how these animations were developed, what they thought of them now and Bob Godfrey.

Fiona asked the question 'what advice would you give to graduating students?' (A question I asked her in my interview with her).

Emma Colder: 'Being able to do something better than any body else in a particular way helps. Being able to reinvent yourself quickly. And never to let disappointment crush you.'

Ged Haney: 'The best you can do is have a website, without having a website, you're never going to succeed. Just email every studio. You just have to get your foot in the door. That's the difficult bit. You have to build your relationships'.

Fiona said that she asked the question for Ollie and I and answer we received was incredibly useful for us going forwards in the industry.
