|
|
Hello people, Quite a few animators who sent their work to BricksWest, but were unable to be there (as a result of living in different states, countries or even continents) are waiting for some report on the festival. Anybody who's been there: how (...) (21 years ago, 17-Feb-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.animation)

I was sitting in the foyer getting ready for the closing address with Matt, so the only entry I saw was the "Christmas Carol" one. But the applause was thounderous for all the entries. Paul Sinasohn LUGNET #115 BAYLUG (21 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.animation)

(...) The issue here is that it is a rather delicate subject. Bill is correct, many of the offerings were greeted by healthy applause. There were significant issues, however, with the way things unfolded. I know a number of people were frustrated (...) (21 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.animation)

Lemme chime in here with my opinion on the matter. This was the first animation festival I have ever attended, having missed last years. I was blown away, truely impressed with all the entries (thanks again Todd). Unfortunately the sheet that (...) (21 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.animation)

I appreciate everyone's zeal to know the results. Unfortunately, Internet access was not part of the venue and therefore the organizers of the festival would have had to incur greater expense to access the Internet to immediately post the results.

Adrian, I am interested in exploring your idea for video like the one Eric and Jeff from RTL showed. Are you thinking about having LUGs and individuals create non-animated videos of their work? I think this would be a great idea. As for the filming (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.animation)

I'd rather see a videotape, even at degraded quality, instead of seeing someone struggle to play an animation, spending several (...)

Tim, thanks for the positive comment, but I still need people to weigh in with their critiques. I have called for input before and no one has said anything.
