 What made you choose to join the Animation Society?

Myself and my fellow committee members had noticed there was a gap in societies for people focussed on Animation or other artistic pursuits on the Film / Cinematic side of Animation, with other societies being more Game focussed. We wanted to create a space for likeminded folk to collaborate and develop our skillsets further.

 

What's the first animated movie or show you remember falling in love with?

Atlantis. The first one. I remember watching it and being in awe on the art direction, the story, and how they conveyed each character in a unique way

 

What’s a scene from an animated film or show that always gives you chills?

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, when Death starts whistling for the first time, and the way he repeats “Pick it up” to Boots. Absolute Cinema, right there

 

Which animation studio do you think has the most iconic style, and why?

Fortiche Production, the french studio responsible for Arcane. That show, and that studio, are revolutionary in their craft

 

If you could time travel, would you go to the past or the future, and why?

The Future. Can you imagine going back in time with the knowledge you have today? Don’t even have to be that smart; basic reading and maths already sets you up for a good gig

 

What's your favourite board game or video game, and what makes it so enjoyable for you? 

Not gonna lie, Animal Crossing. An easy life catching bugs and getting paid for it? Hell yeah

 

What's your favourite cheesey joke or pun? 

Did you hear about the explosion at the cheese factory? There was de-BRIE everywhere
