New Dynamics, the 2012 Anglia Ruskin Degree Show, runs from 8-14 June in Cambridge
Anglia Ruskin University art students in Cambridge are busy preparing for the annual Degree Show, which runs from 8-14 June."Afterwards, industry professionals usually come and check out the results, and Frontier saw my work on display. Next thing I know, I'm opening up an email from Frontier's Director of Production, and being offered an interview for the role of Visual Effects Artist within the company. I couldn't believe my eyes!"
Carlotta Creamworthy Tea for Two (work by Jacobus Lowson)
"During my time here I've come to realise that the craftsmanship and storytelling skills required in animation provide a perfect fusion of my interests."
"Interesting and flexible briefs allow for lots of experimentation and encourage the development of strong ideas and inventiveness, eventually helping us to develop a personal visual language."
"I was lucky enough to have been screened at Exposures Festival, Cambridge Film Festival, Fete de l'anime (Lille, France) and was shortlisted for the British Animation Awards 'Sting' competition. After trying various approaches, including a group project which was very useful, I now specialise in stop motion puppets."
World Oral Literature Project (work by Will Hemming and Jack Sadler)
"The brief for the University of Cambridge's World Oral Literature Project was to develop a visual identity able to represent oral language in all its diversity and individuality. We developed a visual identity that resulted in the design of a typeface that in its own right attempts to question the relationships between oral language and the written word."
"The design attempts to work visually within any culture by using a series of iconic symbols, a simplistic colour pallet and a tactile interface that can be utilised on a range of technological devices. In the end we have developed a successful visual identity that does not connote the characteristics of any one particular culture over that of another, an outcome we felt to be a vital one as it perfectly matched the ethos of the project itself."
"The final three images that I will be hanging in the gallery represent what we as a nation are doing to the world. I did a series of shoots in different locations, including a landfill site in Pitsea, Essex, and they are images I am very passionate about."
