Update It has been a busy Fall festival season for Betsy’s Night Fishing with Cormorants. With eight shows in the past few months – Strasbourg, London, Stockholm, Krakow, Bucharest, Cetraro, Italy, Tinidirindis, Lithuania, and Chelyabinsk, Russia. Including a very nice, Special Mention award at Premio Simona Gesmundo Animation Festival in Cetraro, Italy:
“A beautiful and fascinating work containing inspirations coming from a distant literary and pictorial past. By using them, with no naturalistic but absolutely modern strokes, the author manages to reach a perfect communion with the natural world.”
Motion Graphic Design instructor, Betsy Kopmar, was recently awarded with the Special Prize at an International Animation Festival in Hiroshima, Japan, for her animation, Night Fishing with Cormorants.
“I am not telling a naturalistic story – I have tried to make a work that will hold in equal reverence the spirit of the bird, the fish, and the fisherman.”
You can read more about it on Maxon’s site. Maxon is the manufacturer of Cinema 4D, a 3D software used heavily here at Ex’pression College.
