TWO
world-class digital animators will
be revealing some of the tricks of
their trade as part of the 4th
Leicester Bike Film Festival later
this year.
Animators Cyril Fernandez and
Simon McKeown will support
the festival with a workshop
offering budding filmmakers and fans
the chance to find out about the
latest in computer animation and
pick up some tips on how to bring
animated characters to life. The
event - due to be held on Saturday,
May 28th - will also feature a
selection of animated bike films
from around the world.
Stewart Charles, festival
organiser and filmmaker, said: “This
will be an excellent chance for
people to find out about cutting
edge animation techniques from two
people with masses of industry
experience.”
French animator Cyril Fernandez
worked on the award-winning film
'Belleville Rendezvous' and gave an
introduction to the cult favourite
at last year's festival. Simon
McKeown is an experienced animator
with over 16 years' experience of
film, television and computer game
animation.
Andy Salkeld, Leicester City
Council cycling officer and festival
co-organiser, said: “In addition to
this fantastic animation event, the
festival will see the premier of six
local films that look at different
aspects of cycling. We will also be
offering a rare chance to see the
latest extreme bike sport films on
the big screen along with the
festival's proven mix of
contemporary and classic bike films
and documentaries from around the
world.”
