成人快手

Banbury's own dream factory is showing off its wares at Banbury Museum.

BANBURY MUSEUM

View some of the pictures from the Young Media Art exhibition at the Banbury Museum.

The Animation Station, a centre for young people to learn multimedia skills, is presenting an exhibition of static images and film from May 24 to June 22.

The Animation Station runs short courses in various multimedia. While animation may be the core remit, they also work in still images, sound, web and video.

This exhibition showcases the work that has been done by various groups and individuals over the past 18 months. One of these projects has been with the Oxfordshire Hearing Support Service.

Taking young people from a selection of schools in the county, the project, according to Rose Shepherd, Team Leader for the Service, was a great success.

Rose Shepherd said: "The pupils who have done it have thoroughly enjoyed themselves, gained lots of knowledge and experience and put together a fantastic production."

And the work is excellent - excellent in the knowledge that young people can have the opportunity to work with hardware, software and artists that they may not normally come into contact with.

For some this can lead to bigger things. 13-year-old Jack van Spall has just returned from a trip to the Dreamworks organisation in California where he worked on their latest venture, Sinbad.

Jack's name was put forward to the 成人快手 by Animation Centre Manager, Clinton Osborne in their search for animation stars of the future and his experiences were filmed for television to be broadcast on Call The Shots on July 18.

The images in the static display want for a little explanation. There is little indication as how they were made, and there is a danger that the amount of work that has gone into them will not be appreciated.

When you go, do make the time to sit and watch the short films. They are often very funny, usually very clever and allow you to appreciate that creativity and technology can be good partners.
