I have been walking the streets of southern Paris in Google maps. Strolling between the accommodation at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris and Gobelins, l'école de l'image (pictured) on Boulevard Saint Marcel.The program for the 14 day summer school looks very interesting. I'm excited. I'm excited to be an animation student again. I can't think of a better career than being an animation student. Ask an animator, ask an animation teacher, ask the person at the bus stop, see what they say.
Most days are 9 hours made up of a morning master class and an afternoon workshop. There is an extra optional 2.5 hours before the first class that starts at the civilised hour of 10am. Lunch at 1pm for an hour. Animate in a workshop with the lecturer until 5pm and then free animation time in the Gobelins studios until 8pm.
Paris will be in that long European evening twilight for the stroll home with some dinner along the way. Yes, excited.
I finally worked out I had to click on Ratatouille to visit you in Paris, Frank! This is so cool and inspirational that you are there in Paris to animate! The hours sound good, intensive but you are really going to achieve a lot in that time. I think when you are in another country and out of home's comfort zone your senses are on high alert and you are in an almost psychic state of sucking in the lode of information that assails you. This is the perfect state of mind for an animation summer school! Have a pain du choclat for me and enjoy that fabulous intensive animation time and the flaneurship that city invites.
