I attended Bradford animated festival [BAF] for three days, in that time a number of talks, screenings and seminars, and were shown not only professional work, but also students work. Out of the tree days and ten events/showings i attended here are three of the events i enjoyed the most.
Valerie kausen: chuck jones centenary: Feed the Kitty
We had a guessed talker, Valerie Kausen, Chuck Jones' granddaughter. She talked about her memories of working with her grandfather. In this seminar they had three of Chuck Jones most loved animations. before showing us ‘Feed the Kitty’ Valerie Kausen mentions about how hard Chuck Jones worked on getting one Sean too look perfect. The Sean is where the dog ‘Maec Antony’ has an innocent look on his face and pointing to his self as to say “who me?”
The only work I saw of Chuck Jones was Looney Tones (bugs bunny and daffy duck) . i had never see the tree that were shown, and instantly liked ‘feed the kitty’
‘Feed the Kitty’ is about a dog named Maec Antony who brings in a stray kitten into the home and try to look after it in secret afraid his owner would take the kitten from him
I enjoyed this animation over the other two because it was funny from start to finish. And it had a nice story. The emotions shown in the dog were over exaggerated but it worked.
