For over four years I have been trying to get hold of a working copy of a short film that I took part in as a student teacher. ‘Communication (with the animals)’ was a short stop-animation film which was created by the Notre Dame Animation Club. The club itself, set up by Mrs Lyons and Miss Wilson had four key members; Narin C (who has been featured before in a profile), Ailidh W, her sister Simone W and Natasha S.
Over the past few months I have borrowed several copies of the film, of which I had little success of getting a working, convertible copy. Some of the time a disc would work in a DVD player but not a PC or on a certain PC and not a Mac. The whole thing was an nightmare. Fortunately I have had some free time to get stuck into trying to capture a copy of the film and air it on the web like I had planned many years ago.
So, after all that time, I’m happy to present the Notre Dame Animation Club’s entry into the University of Paisley’s animation competition 2006/07 – ‘Communication (with the animals)’.
Oh… I also apologise for the terrible voice acting of the fly commentator. Thanks to Simone and Narin for their patience.
