Life drawing (image heavy)

I've just finished a 10 week life drawing course with Truro college, which of course means I've done a lot of drawings, so, in no particular order, here they are:

Cornwall Film Festival IV

Got up at 7. Bit confused about the whole thing.
So I mentioned seeing a bunch of shorts yesterday, BUT FORGET ABOUT THAT BECAAAAUSE...

Love Hate won the Made In Kernow category!

Massive congratulations to Alice! It's pretty cool to have worked on an award winning short.

I guess I'll get around to talking about films I liked in another post, but for now, this is far too super exciting to think about anything else.

Cornwall Film Festival III

I managed to see a few films today! Well, yesterday, as it's gone midnight at the point of my writing this, Which reminds me, if you're out taking part in a remembrance day parade, I hope you manage to stay dry. As a former Air Cadet I've done my share of marching through town to observe the two minutes silence in the cold and wet, so you have my sympathy.

Right, back to the films!

Most notably Mumbai Charlie, which is a 30 minute short film directed by Deepak Verma.
During the Q&A he explained how the film is based on the real life story of a man who took on the role of Charlie Chaplin to bring laughter back to a community in Adipur in the wake of a terrible earthquake in 2001. The film follows a businessman who is diagnosed as having lost his inner moustache by 'the doctor' who appears to be the leader of a group of Chaplin enthusiasts.

Deepak Verma, a pretty cool guy 

 

Later on I asked if it was intentional that his film was being screened during 'Movember' when the Chaplin moustache played such an important role in his film, apparently it was a happy coincidence, but he showed significant anguish that I didn't ask during the Q&A, because he would have liked to talk more on the theme then!



I saw a whole bunch of animated shorts aswell, but it's getting late, I have to be up early in the morning and the batteries in my wireless keyboard are running down, so I'll leave you with a picture of some fellow animators I bumped into at the festival today!

Night!

Cornwall Film Festival II

Yesterday I saw Kernal play in the Made in Kernow catagory at the festival but I was pretty busy doing other things so I didn't get to see any other films. Love Hate should be playing today.

Had a bit of a chat about cameras and stuff with one of the guys from Dog Bite yesterday, who are a film company from Cornwall. They had some gear on display ranging from a modular Red camera to a Go Pro mounted on an arm and IT WAS ALL PRETTY COOL.

Here are some pictures of volunteers, there were a lot of us yesterday (Probably more volunteers than festival guests for half of the day) which lead to a lot of standing around and feeling like I was in somebody's way all the time.

Just by chance, almost all of us are students from University College Falmouth (Except Alice and myself, who are graduates)

Oh and here's a close up my wicked-cool crew shirt. That's all for nowwww.

Cornwall Film Festival

Yesterday was my first day of volunteering at the Cornwall Film Festival where two animated shorts I worked on are screening. Kernel, written and directed by Olly Skillman-Wilson and Love Hate by Alice Nightingale who is also volunteering at the CFF. Mostly we were setting up yesterday, today the actual festival starts so it should be a lot busier.

 I don't have many photos for the festival yet, but this is an amusingly broken Skyfall display at the Lighthouse Cinema in Newquay where the festival is hosted. without the gun it looks like Bond is sliding along the ground sending a text message.
