I was invited there as a trainer to speak on the subject of
(guess what) previsualization. The
talk was very well received, and hopefully, we have some new converts out
there. ;0) And I love Europe, so the whole affair was wonderful.
The conference format is very interesting—two days of
lectures and case studies followed by two days of hands-on workshops and then a
final day of lectures and discussions.
The evenings typically are also planned with a variety of events. At about 70 participants, you have the
time and opportunity to get to know a variety of people well over the course of
the week. I found the
conversations and various points of view very stimulating—keep an eye on this

Since I decided to hang out for a couple of days after my lecture, I had the great fortune of taking a stereoscopic stop motion animation workshop from Brian Van’t Hul (LAIKA) and Joe Lewis (General Lift). Super fun!! Stop motion animation is a secret love of mine. Doing it in stereo was cool, but really, just playing around with the stickfa figures was the best. Here’s a peek at what the setup looked like (quite simple and doable at home, actually):
I was so inspired, I found a stop motion animation app for
my iPhone (iMotion) and made little animations on my tray table on the flight
back to Vancouver. Made for a
great conversation-starter with my seat-partner!
I am currently in the planning, purchasing, organising, and composing stages of my own stop action movie. I've already composed one song for it and have the general concept. I need a story line! :-)
