Digital Arts - Other people frustrate me with their brilliance...

Is anyone else getting excited about Onedotzero's Adventures in Motion Festival in November?  I am.

Because I get to work with so many highly skilled practitioners, I often get more than a little jealous of what they can achieve, especially when it comes to producing drawings, sketches, films, animations and photography.  It's something that I've tried to get involved with time and again, but am slowly starting to realise that it's just one of those things I'm never going to be good at.

Watching the content Onedotzero post on their website reignites those feelings; I just want to go home, grab a sketch pad and start scribbling away, or fire up my laptop, purchase Flash and start tweening. I also know deep down that 5 minutes later I'll give up, frustrated that my drawing skills are no better than a 5 year old's.

The show reel for this year's festival screenings just got me properly fired up, for all the right reasons - the content looks superb and I can't wait to see each of the pieces in all their glory, with people who know how to create work of this calibre and in these mediums.  Take a look and let me know what you think...
