Bristol Animation Village is a collective of animators studying at the Bristol School of Animation. They’re aim is to foster a creative environment by bringing together students, organising exciting events such as exhibitions and group trips, and most importantly discussing the work currently being produced within the animation industry by sharing any interesting finds. As animators they possess a wide variety of interdisciplinary skills, from puppet making, to illustrating, to 3D CGI modelling and rigging, plus sound designers, character designers and story board artists, the list goes on!
