This time our guest spoke as a commissioner of animation, rather than as a filmmaker (although he does make films too). Gary, who is Associate Director of Animate Projects, showed work funded by the old Animate! scheme and by Animate Projects, including LAC regular Katerina Athanasopoulou’s film Engine Angelic:  http://www.animateprojects.org/films/by_date/2010/engine_angelic.

An informative and very witty speaker, he also talked about a number of things we should all know, including:

The Animate Projects’ Digitalis Scheme:http://www.animateprojects.org/films/by_project/digitalis/animate_open

The Random Acts strand on Channel 4: http://randomacts.channel4.com/

The Accelerate Animation report he commissioned: http://accelerateanimation.com/category/accelerate-report/
