Computer Animation Arts

I love poetry or 'spoken word art' and when combined with animation it just becomes more accessible. The imagery from poetry is an animators god send! Favourite Quote: "You all had smiles like one way barbed wire, Not meant to keep us out - Meant to keep us in"

Three incredible poems read/written by three incredible women. I share because I want to, one day, to use animation to make their words more accessible to everyone. Obviously, so much more powerful to watch them perform but it would bring people back to poetry and seeking to watch it live. I think people steer away because their experience is hard sentences in a book and fighting to figure out the meaning. Most poems are written to be performed making it's meaning clearer through body language and voice. It will be interesting to take that into animation somehow. Katie Makkai - Pretty T.
