Scotland loves Animation

Thought it was worth mentioning that I attended a very interesting and inspiring workshop on Friday 14th October. It was presented by Merlin Crossingham of Aardman Animation and Richard Scott of Axis Animation. 

The workshop itself was very useful, but perhaps the most insightful part of the day was the Q & A, which solidified a lot of thoughts, hopes and fears I had of the animation/production industry - name that key skills are valuable, as they cannot be taught - though something like Maya and Photoshop can. Sometimes I feel I get caught up in not knowing enough. While knowledge is equally important, I shouldn't neglect the skills that brought me here - even if I do pursue a career in something like technical art/animation.
