Gemma
Burditt
After studying sculpture at Exeter College in
Devon, I became very weary of
useless static objects and wanted to create work that was more
reflectrive
of life and was about movement. I began to develop an interest
in sculptural
costume and theatre which lead me to study for a further 3 years
at the
Central School of Speech and Drama in London. Here, I specialised
in Puppet
theatre and learnt a great deal about story telling through
imagery, sound
and performance. During my final year and in my first job with
a small
puppet company called "Zero Zero ," I began to explore
interacting live
performance and animation.
However
my interest in animation soon took over and I wanted to learn
more
about other techniques other than simple cut outs. I hope
to use my time at
the film school to develop visual story telling and look at
the potential of
sound.

decides to take advantage of the good weather, and takes the
unusual step of setting her 2nd project outside in the grounds
of the school.
