Animation says anything goes

This year, the festival incorporates student work and big name animators' movies for two hours of entertainment.

The second annual animation mini festival will have one big difference from last year's: student work.

"Last year went really, really well … there were 125 student attendees and 25 participants in the kids' workshop," said Cable Hardin, assistant professor of visual arts.

This year, the festival will show around a dozen animated short movies. "Some shorts are highlights from the Ottawa Film Festival. There are shorts by Bill Plympton, Pat Smith (who spoke on campus last year) and PES, who does stop motion," said Hardin.

Shorts, as Hardin said, are one to ten minute movies. Hardin said he chose films from animation outlets that are aware of new animation. Some examples include the Ottawa Animation Festival, independent animators and students.

Three students who have their work in the festival are Isaac Windham, Lynette Lobien and Corey Beffert.
