Visuelt 08

This has been a day packed with inspiration! The yearly seminardays about visual communication "Visuelt" is going on these days (24. - 26. april) in Oslo, Norway.
I joined day number two, with the theme "My professional integrety". The day was about you as a person, and what are motivating and inspiring you.

It was a lot of great speakers:
Fred Deakin & Nat Hunter - Airside (UK)
Erik Kessels - KesselsKramer (NL)
StormStudio
Kjell Ekhorn - Non-Format (NO/UK)
Adam Burke - Pixar Animation Studios (US)

Overall it was very good. But my favorite speakers was, Erik Kessels and Adam Burke.
They really had passion for what they worked with, and showed a lot of really good stuff.
Erik talked a lot about of cool projects they have done for clients, and own products/labels they have created in house. He also pushed that it is very important to have a good idea.

Adam showed us a lot from Ratatouille, and talked about how Pixar work, and that you can't rush art.
I'm going to Frame by Frame tomorrow, he is going to speak there as well.

After a long they with great stuff, I got so inspired that I bought myself some new books.
Timing for Animation
Animation, The Mechanics of Motion
Animation, Writing and Development
Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery

So this weekend is hereby dedicated to reading :)
