For the documentary class I’m taking for my contextual study, True Lies, we have been tasked to write a thousand words on one of the documentaries we’ve seen in class. I’ve chosen the fascinating documentary called Capturing The Friedmans . So, I thought for my initiative post I would jot down some of my initial impressions as […]

The prompt for this initiative post was pretty broad, so I decided to write on something that has inspired me recently. I’ve been taking the Alternative Animation course for the past two weeks and in this weeks class we were given free reign with modelling clay and some webcams.
