Today...

Today, the rest of the students and I had to focus on a more specific topic for this session. Today we all had to find a practioner who's work we liked and found interesting, what their style of work is and how we find that inspiring and we also had to research a little into their background. Although the students and I have previously found practioners who inspire us, we haven't yet researched further into them since we refined what it is exactly we want to do for this EPQ project. Now I know what it is I want to do, which is a more contemporary animation rather than the work of the likes of Walt Disney (who was the previous practioner I researched into), I looked out for more contemporary animations that I am interested in and who made them. I found one practioner, Mike Johnson. He has worked with Tim Burton on many occasions to produce feature length films, such as A Nightmare Before Christmas and Corspe Bride. I find his work very stylish and innovative and I was interested in both of these films before I found out that it was Mike Johnson who made them.
