Inspiration Monday

I have had a long term fasciation with and love of animation and I have a clear recollection of watching animation 'shorts', from around the world, on the BBC circa the late 1970s / early 1980s. 

This free and easy access to skilled and intriguing animation seemed to disappear over time and I have been saddened by the fact that I could only access such 'shorts' by attending screenings at the BFI (expensive) or by buying DVDs of animation compilations (also expensice - and never in the reduced price sales bracket!).

I have had the opportunity to enjoy watching some true gems over the years - by taking advntage of the DVD lending library at the London College of Communication during my student days; and by treasuring DVD gifts.

Maybe I have been missing a treat as a result of finding the web 2.0 offerings a little overwhelming - you tube / my space / etc.  I don't know.

But now, I have discovered Pinterest and Vimeo.  FANTASTIC!

As a celebration of these discoveries I am posting this animation short.  Books, paper engineering, music, darkness, intrigue...enjoy!
