The RTF department presents student talents at their all-day animation celebration-the Daily Texaner

Ultraviolet Light throws a blue glow over the dark studio, and television screens circle long tables and chairs that are supposed to set the participants in the exhibition of the student animation. Electronic music beats in the background and a cool design falls through the audience.

The Department of Radio-Elevision-Film organized the “RTF animation celebration” at Jesse Jesse Jones Communications Building B. This full-day event celebrated the animation through presentations, discussions and demonstrations. At the celebrations of the day, 250 animation students showed their work and worked with colleagues, faculties and industry experts during a one -hour exhibition period about snacks and refreshments. Ben BayS, a professor of radio-television film, was the main contribution to the event.

“I try to create a day on which I take a topic (like) animation, and I explore all different dimensions here in the Department of Radio-Elevision film,” said Bays. “It exists in other units, but I think it is very special here in RTF because we have a scholarship nearby.”

The celebration made it possible for Josceline Roeper, a junior for computer science and economics, her project on the big screen for the first time. Roepers animation “Ice Skittering” shows a few skaters that slide on skates and whirl in the air. As a newcomer, Roeper said that she was pleasantly surprised that she presented her animated short film.

“I feel a bit grateful that even non-majors or first-and-stanimators show their things,” said Roeper. “You usually see really advanced things. But I think one of the spokesman said that first -time animators, first -and -stanimators, of course become how it is imperfect, and there is a bit of charm. “

Claire Anzalone, an animator who worked in Netflix '”Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood” and the second season of Amazon Prime by Amazon Prime, took part in the event. She said first -hand she knows how important it is to remain involved in the constantly changing world of animation.

“In the animation you have to get to know others in your area,” said Anzalone. “It's a big deal, networking, so it is always open to learning because the animation always changes.”

Anzalone, who completed the Austin Community College, said that Networking events can grow animators because they enable them to see what other styles do and see what is new.

“For a while it was like Disney Peak Standard of 'Wall-E' and 'Tangled' and Mobs-Ses they wanted to be as very realistic as possible,” said Anzalone. “But now we're going back.”

Each television at the celebration played various animators in a continuous loop. BayS said that each of his animation students received the deserved recognition for their hard work and their efforts.

“I would like to make sure that everyone who is trying and draws this frame also has time on the big screen,” said Bays.
