Brighton’s Animation BA(Hons) is hosting BAFTA-award winning director and animator Oliver Smyth at its student screening event next week.
FRAMPS 2024
FRAMPS was created in 2023 by Michael Chidubem, one of our animation lecturers with vast industry, work and teaching experience. The next edition of FRAMPS will takes place on Friday, May 31, 2024, between 9:30am – 12noon. This year’s event will take place in Lecture Theatre 105. FRAMPS stands for Frames Per Second and is created to provide opportunities for animation and creative students in general to meet & greet, connect, showcase their works, be inspired and network with each other in a fun way. This year’s event is proudly supported by Belong at Brighton.
This years’ event comes with a loaded and interesting lineup of activities to ensure that the audience have a memorable and enjoyable time. Activities lined up include:
- Showcase of a variety of students’ works, animation and creative projects.
- Award Ceremony and Premiere of five animated short films as part of the “I AM MORE THAN” project by Brighton Women’s Society in conjunction with a team of University of Brighton animation students.
