Animated Exeter


We went for this event especially for the Quay Brother's talk, which was very quick and superficial.

Besides the talk, there was an exhibition with their work (the puppets and models) which was really interesting see the scales and the quality of the models and scenario. We could see the effort they put in details and the choice of materials.

We also watched the session of their short films ("Quay Brothers: a short Collection"). Some of them, I've seen in DVD before, but of course the experience is different in big screen. The movies were: "The Comb", "Street of Crocodiles", "This Unnameable Little Broom", "The Mascot" and "Are we still married?". What I most liked was "The Mascot", a story of a puppy that try to steal an orange but everyone wants that orange and try to get from him.

Other talks we attended:
- Pitch Perfect (with Marion Edwards, Matthew Sagar, Tim Searle, David Freedman and Lucy Murphy)
- Animate & Educate Conference, with Curtis Jobling (Bob the Builder, Frankstein's Cat)
