Budapest : day 9 and 10
En / here are the pictures of the days 9 and 10 in Budapest at the MOME.
Day 9 was about visiting Kitchen Budapest, an amazing little place for artists and technicians that ables them to work together. The Afternoon we have met Adam Slomai Fisher, co funder of the Kitchen Budapest, Architect, who was there to present an amazing flash application for keynotes : Prezi. After that we were invited to the opening of the Budapest animation Festival (with a screening of Mary and Max).
Next day allowed us to met the Studio Platige Image (from Poland), presenting they last short movie : the kinematrographer, and the afternoon was dedicated to Tchek animation. After that we have been on our unofficial farewell diner at Fruszi’s place.
Fr / Voici les photos des jours 9 et 10 à Budapest, au MOME.
Le 9e jour nous avons visité Kitchen Budapest, un endroit incroyable pour les artistes et techniciens qui leur permet de travailler ensemble (installations artistiques, création de produits divers et variés). L’après midi nous avons rencontré Adam Slomai Fisher, co fondateur de Kitchen Budapest, architecte, et qui était venu nous présenter une autre de ses superbes créations, l’application de présentations : Prezi. Après ça nous avons été invités à l’ouverture du Festival d’Animation de Budapest (avec une projection du superbe Mary and Max).
Le jour suivant nous avons rencontré le réalisateur et le producteur du Studio Platige Image (de Pologne) venu présenter leur dernier court métrage : le Kinématographe, ainsi que quelques uns de leurs futurs projets (qui graphiquement, sont très intéressants). A noter la projection d’un court métrage pour Reporters Sans Frontières, banni juste avant les JO de Pékin et que quasiment personne n’a pu voir malheureusement (pourtant il fait son petit effet). Enfin l’après midi était dédié à l’animation Tcheque. En soirée, nous nous retrouvions tous chez Fruzi pour un diner d’adieux non officiel.

Viborg Week 1
I am loving this first week in Vigorg.
This is our 3rd module and The Animation Workshop seems to be the perfect place to study.
We all learned so much with our main teacher, Mike Robinson and the best of all we are having great fun with it.
Animation Workshop is cool in every aspect. Besides normal classes that are part of the coures here, there are open lectures like life drawing and theatre improvisation, as well some yoga and tai chi that unfortunatly for us were not happening this week. We have a kitchen where everyone joins to cook and chat and a disco bar to dance like crazy (if we are up to it).
Personaly I am thinking coming here next year to get in the Professional training in 3D character animation, as they have a great curriculum.
One of the best weeks in ASF is until Vigorg module.
I´m looking forward to see wht is coming up next week.

Budapest : day 7 and 8
En / On the foggy sunday we have been in Peter’s home, eating and playing music the entire day. It was very cool, thanks to him and his flatemate ! Monday, back to buisiness, with the morning a lecture of Tamás Waliczky who speaks about the technical and theoretical background of the works. And the afternoon we have met Alexei Alexeev speaking about the creative process in his crazy animated serie KJFG N° 5.
Fr / Dimanche était très brumeux et nous sommes allé chez Peter pour manger et jouer de la musique toute la journée. C’était super, très bons souvenirs. Le lundi, retour au travail avec deux conférences. Le matin Tamás Waliczky présentait son travail de pionnier et nous parlait de l’aspect technique et théorique de ses projets. L’après midi nous avions l’occasion de rencontrer Alexei Alexeev, gagnant de nombreux prix, venu nous parler de son process de création, très indépendant, et particulièrement pour sa folle série animée KJFG N° 5.
PS : I’m experimenting a new way to put the pictures to avoid you to visit Flickr. What did you prefere? The old way? or the new one with that little flash player? Answer in the comments, thanks 
You just need to click play, it will change the pictures automaticaly. If you don’t move the mouse the menu will disapear.

Budapest : day 5 and 6
En / The last lecture day of the first week was about VFX in movies. Then we have moved to down town for a nice evening. Saturday it was completely open, so I have visited the Statue Park, a little museum with old communist statues. After that, a big walk near the River allow me to see some of the Hungarian architecture. Here are some pictures, as usual including some with that strange fog.
Fr / La dernière lecture de la première semaine fût dédiée aux VFX en Hongrie. Puis nous sommes tous partis au centre ville pour une soirée sympathique. Le samedi, rien n’était programmé, chacun était libre de vaquer où il voulait. Après avoir visité Statue Park, un petit musée dédié aux vieilles statues communistes (de l’époque de l’URSS donc), j’ai pu faire une longue promenade près du Danube et profiter de quelques curiosités architecturales. Voici donc quelques photos dont certains avec ce brouillard particulier.

Joseph has made a big update of his blog joseph-wallace.blogspot.com about his last lectures, visits and workshops in UK. But he had also made a big post on ASF in Hungary telling quickly the content of the two weeks. It’s a nice summary of what we have done in Budapest.

My experiences in the ASF team (during the 2 weeks in Ludwigsburg)
Now I’m gonna write down some of my experiences and stories, because I draw some illustrations. Well I was so inspired in this atmosphere.
We had an improvisation workshop with Dörthe Eickelberg, as Joe wrote about it before. After warming in, we had to improvise many kind of stories that Dörthe mentiond to us. For acting we didn’t use any object, just our body to express our feelings and show the situation as believable as we could, and if it was necessary we spoke to each other. We took it very serious, and sometimes – I think – the group act on a very high level, and we could feel deep emotions such as sadness, surprise, force, love, poorness and fun ect. It was a great fun, and I hope I’ll feel, and live this again in my life more.
There are three pictures which were inspired from these stories. One about a poor servant boy in a restaurant called Mećek, who wants to step on a higher level to be cook, but the cruel old woman chief and the cook are against him, and he has to do pokey job, clean the toilet. But the Queen arrives into the restaurant. She likes the boy, and want him to eat together… the chief doesn’t like this and wants to poison the boy, but it ends badly for her and the cook. And in the end the Queen bet Mećek as her son : )
The other story was on a Submarine, with an ignorant Captain who even don’t know where to go and what to attack, but solider Broznik can help and make the decision, if the captain wants…
There is a king on the third illustration. We had to bring him some present…
The other three pictures for you guys, some memory of how we learnt to use post it notes for idea developing, and of our weekend journey to spa and Stuttgart to drink hot chocolate after a tiring day : )
Sketches of lecturers 2
There are three different people, who we could learn a lot from. (everyone in a different way : ) but Respect!
