As part of the FdA professional platforms series, Rob Grieves ran a
series of animation workshops. Rob has spent 10 years working as an animator in
London & Sydney for clients such as Canal Plus,
Channel 5, Cirque do Soleil, Engine, the History Channel, ITV, LOCOG, Madame Tussauds, Moving Brands, MTV, Natural
History Museum, Samsung, UKTV and Unilever. Rob worked as a Senior Animator on the London 2012 ceremonies. He
was part of the team that created the 'audience pixel content' - the animation
in the Olympic Opening and Paralympic Closing ceremonies that was displayed
around the stadium. This technology used 'pixels' placed on each seat to turn
the stadium into a living animation. Rob’s showreel can be seen here.
Working with Rob, FdA students created a series of animations that are
being showcased on the LoopdeLoop website.
‘LoopdeLoop is an animation challenge. Each
month, animators from around the world create looping animations based on a
given topic and upload them to www.loopdeloop.org. On the last Tuesday of the
month all of the posted loops are compiled and screened to a live audience at Loop in Melbourne, Australia. During the
screening a winner is declared, who enters the hall of fame and has their loop
featured throughout the following month.'
Here are some of the FdA entries – their
theme was BANG!
