ANIMATION AND SPECIAL EFFECTS:

Title: Oui Oui
Director: James Rodgers
Synopsis: As his aim was to tell a character-based using only bodily movement, James cleverly chose a mime artiste as lead character. The ensuing hard work has now well and truly paid off for him, with a job at visual effects company Red Star Studios and a Royal Television Society award already under his belt.

Title: Flyz
Director: Franz Schiller
Franz travelled all the way from Germany to study Creative Media and Technologies here at the University of Bradford, and one of the projects he made for us was this wonderful mix of live-action video with computer generated flies.

Title: Superturnip
Director: Carl Mitchell
Synopsis: Carl's quirky vegetable-based superhero does battle with a mannequin that happens to have stolen a giant cat/robot armoured suit. A testament to the rampant imaginaton and sense of humour that many of our students posess!

Title: Speeder
Director: Adam Thomas
Adam's animation project was a study in photorealism, and features a speeding vehicle travelling across a baking desert. In addition to the visual attention to detail (heat-haze, camera-shake effects, etc), Adam used audio quite cleverly, too - especially in the closing 'helicopter' shot.
