Amid Amidi

Folks in Bristol, England are getting a spectacular large-scale animation show this week. The event, Light Up Bristol, which projects 400-feet wide pieces of animation across historic buildings, started yesterday and runs through this Friday. Bristol-based animator and illustrator Robin Davey, who has two pieces in this year’s line-up, explained to me what the event is all about:

“Now in its second year, Light Up Bristol is a week of festively-themed large scale video projections on to some of the UK city’s landmark buildings. All the work has been produced especially for the event by many of Bristol’s creative agencies and individuals, in a variety of media ranging from Flash and After Effects through to film, stop-motion, and shadow-puppetry. Everyone involved has volunteered their time and talents free of charge, and the event is free to all. It runs from Monday 17 to Friday 21 December in and around College Green. I’ve contributed two very different pieces to the line-up. You can see some stills on my blog here.”

Creative Review magazine has images from the animated pieces in this article. More photos from the event, including the one above by James Burniston, are posted on Flickr.
