Over the weekend I was teaching After Effects at Film Oxford. One of my students was Peter Lang. Peter a is broadcast animator whose TV shows I watched as a child. Do you remember Pigeon Street or even Ludwig? He helped create these and many others. His classic cut-out animation style originally used stop-motion and rostrum camerawork. While this pre-dated the digital systems employed today, these often fail to achieve the charm of those 'old-school' techniques. Over the years I have taught many people of all ages, abilities and aspirations - but it's rare to meet anyone with Peter's pedigree.
He thanked me for demystifying a subject which he found interesting and absorbing. It's always a privilege to teach but I was especially proud to teach someone who influenced me. I'm confident that Peter will be able to multiply his veteran experience with his new skills and go on to inspire the next generation. It just goes to show that in filmmaking, even if your a master, there's always more to learn.
