ANIMATSUDA’s Trip to Edinburgh

ANIMATSUDA — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:56:00 +0000

I was delighted to watch all of our dance films on the big screen in Filmhouse in Edinburgh. It was also a big first step for my animation to be screened outside London, where it was filmed. It was very inspiring to watch such a different range of techniques and approaches to dance film. I enjoyed the discussion afterwards, getting information about how other directors came up with their ideas and how they translated to film. Gaining more information about funding was also very valuable for my future projects.
I was delighted to meet the great directors Brune and Hamish in person. Thank you very much Steph and Lucy for creating this great opportunity.

Akari Lantern Project at Thames Festival 10th & 11th September 2011

ANIMATSUDA — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 00:00:44 +0000

ANIMATSUDA joined Japan Society’s Akari Lantern Project at Thames Festival on 10th and 11th September 2011. This event took place exactly 6 months after the March earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. We don’t see as much news on the web about the area affected as before, but people still have been putting a lot of effort into the recovery and reconstruction.

The Japan Society has come up with the project to carry hand made lanterns with all the good wishes to Japan at the Thames Festival Night Carnival. The parade was accompanied with Joji Hirota’s taiko drummers and many people joined to walk together in the night of London.

ANIMATSUDA filmed the daytime session with Japan Society where there were origami and calligraphy workshops, badge and lantern making stalls.

Thank you very much for all the people who participated in our ouendan animation! We hope that your smile and heart will reach the people who have been affected by the disaster.
