Bitesized Animation Events & Socials
Animation, motion graphics & video folk, take a break from the keyframes & join us on Thursday 24th October for a spooky evening of animated fun and drinks.
We'll be at Antenna (it's definitely haunted) in Nottingham with lots of ghoulish short animations, quick quiz with lots of fun prizes and a talk from Davey "Swatpaz" Ferguson an artist & animator based in Glasgow working on TV shows, commercials, games and music videos for clients such as Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Disney.
We've also got a live improvised Theremin set from Roy Palmer and two mini talks from James Wilkinson telling us about his Mini-Mutoscope kits and Laura Mathews introducing us to her interactive sculptures and puppets.
Animation Challenge
We have another animation challenge as well, as it's that spooky time of year the theme is "Boo!" Details below...

About Us
At Animorsels we run animation evenings, events and socials, bringing together the local animation community to watch animation, make animation, learn new techniques, chat, drink, catch up, meet new people and generally have a bit of fun.
We alternate our main animation evenings which feature a guest speaker and selection of short films alongside our socials which are more of a general get together. At each event we run our short animation challenge, microMorsels, each with a different theme, which we screen just after the short films. We’ve had some great entries at past events!
Animorsels is run by Bottletop, a Nottingham animation studio, with support from RTS Midlands & Antenna. Past events have also had sponsorship from the lovely folk at Juno and Patchworks with regular support for our socials from Das Kino and Penny Lane.
If you haven’t been along to Animorsels yet then pop along to our next event, we’d love to have you there!
