BAF is Ended

So we returned  home from Bradford Animation Festival yesterday after a week packed with fun and awesome animations, games and people. I wont be able to talk about everything that I saw, as there was so much, but I shall mention my favourite parts
here is the BAF Website if you want more: http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/BradfordAnimationFestival.aspx
To show you how much there was to do, here are all my used tickets:

I will start at the end, the Award ceremony. There were different categories of animation, full of work submitted from around the globe, with many truly stunning pieces. the categories were: Professional Film (from those who make a living out of animation), Student Films, Commercials, Music Videos and Films for Children. I shall put links to the winners films, or failing that trailers for them and will then throw in some of my favourites.
