I had the pleasure of heading down to the Quickdraw Animation Societies home base on thursday evening to take in the Richard Reeves showcase. Richard, who's animation is known across Canada, began animating with QAS back in 1989. It was a welcome return home with many familiar faces in the crowd asking questions and sharing their enthusiasm for his work.
Richard is known for his cameraless animations, scratching, painting, bleaching and many other unique methods of creating not only the images but also the sound. We were all in for a treat having the creator introduce each film and fill us in on the process and the method that went into the creation of the unique films. Animation is very evidently one of Richard's lifelong passions. To the right is an autobiography we were lucky enough to find in the QAS archives. I have no doubt that Richard will continue animating long into the future. While others are concerned with computer advances and the newest 3D models, Richard's innovations have a much more natural feel.
Attached is a quick video from last night's screening. It includes a brief clip of linear dreams and footage of Richard talking about his process. I apologize for the quality of the upload. It is a little week.
There are still a few spots available for Richards Workshop: Scratch It! which will be on saturday at 11:00. See www.giraffest.ca for more details.
