The evening, organized by Toronto Animated Image Society consisted of some of Iain's best animated short films, each followed by a behind-the-scenes talk.
This was a kind of 'Intro to Classical Animation' for me as I'm more of a 3D kinda guy (obviously...)
Iain's work was very inspirational and hearing about the ups and downs he had to face throughout his career brought forth a lot of new points that should be noted. For one thing, never hesitate to try and experiment with new ideas, raise the bar and tackle complex issues.
Hand-drawn animation is a difficult thing to do even in this day and age and it requires a lot of focus. So if you don't know what you're up against or have no clue where to get started, you're in for a surprise.
My favorite piece was a short film called, 'The Loch Ness Kelpie'. I went home and found it on YouTube. Apparently, it's very rare because the track was done by a famous musician.
