Believe it or Not...

I am actually alive! Back from Berlin, finally got around to updating. Had an absolutely great time and I will say this: Berlin is a nice city, especially for a capital. Compared with London... yeeeeah. In London you get to be a sardine in one of the ugliest, most densely-packed, polluted and miserable cities I've ever had the displeasure of visiting. Berlin was much more pleasant -not as clean from what I could tell, as far as litter goes- but a lot more spaced out. It was artier, more free, more relaxed, more happy and though it kind of smelt of sewers a lot of the time I'd take that over London's smog any day. So yeah, I was quite surprised in that sense. It still doesn't quite beat good old Newcastle, but I'm probably bias. The festival itself was brilliant too; I sat in and watched most of the speakers and the screenings were fantastic for the most part. I think there were a few animations that a lot of people I talked to weren't too keen on, but overall they were great. I'll look at them in a bit more detail later *cough*whenIcanbearsed*cough*. For now, I actually have... Wait for it... ... Waaaait for it... SOMETHING TO SHOW.

Hehe, I love google. Anyway First actually coloured sequence from my animation; it's a scene in which Okri uses one of Ralla'ool's feathers to start a fire. I added a little glow in after effects.
