Clown Day 12th March 2013; Staffordshire University Animation Department 'intervention days' #2.

Here are some images from Staffordshire University Animation Department second 'intervention day'; Clown Day on March 12th 2013.

These themed intervention days encourage all three levels of both BA(Hons) Animation and BA(Hons) Stop Motion Animation and Puppet Making to stop whatever they are doing and take part in something that they might not normally do.

Clown Day started with us all assuming our own characters, then we have a mix of character expression and performance, and finish with life drawing (or undead drawing).

Balls!

The inevitable balloon animals

The start of a BIG balloon sculpture

Lots of face painting going on...

...and stylish footware...

Did I mention that it was Red Nose Day!!!

Getting bigger...

Careful missus!

In character...

In the thick of it!

...and bigger...

It's alive!

A man of many talents

More plate spinning...

The Staffs Uni Clown Army!

Life drawing begins...

Cheer up for goodness sake

"I'm laughing on the inside."

Run for your life!!

What's next?

Wait and see...

Zombie Day 5th February 2013; Staffordshire University Animation Department 'intervention days' #1.

Though every students work schedule here is very important, it is often good to step back from set projects and take apart in something totally different from time to time. Focusing on one thing for too long can impair you ability and wear you down.

We have themed intervention days that encourage all three levels of both BA(Hons) Animation and BA(Hons) Stop Motion Animation and Puppet Making to stop whatever they are doing and take part in something that they might not normally do.

So far we have had a Zombie Day and a Clown Day. Both Days start with us all assuming our own characters, then we have a mix of character expression and performance, and finish with life drawing (or undead drawing).
