THE LIBRARY

Today we learned how to navigate the SBIT labyrinth, more commonly known as 'the library'.
We embarked a scavenger hunt for Animation information, or 'Animinfo'.

THIS is a labyrinth;



















And THIS is a library;















See? The same. Also both contain David Bowie in some way, shape or form.


And THESE are my discoveries;

1. Shaun Tan (winner of the 2011 'Best Short Animated Film' Oscar) has two art books in the library, 'The Bird King' and 'The Arrival'. There are also numerous articles on him in 'WebFeat'.

2. The library has numerous copies of 'Animation Magazine', found on level 2, along with other magazines relating to animation, animation/digital art software and visual art.

3. If we need help or have questions regarding Copyright in Australia, a librarian can help - the librarian working the Help Desk on level 4, in particular.

4 & 5. Frank Thomas' 'The Illusion of Life' is available for loan on level 3 of the library, as well as Richard Williams' 'The Animator's Survival Kit', which is also available on DVD.

6. A DVD entitled 'Paris: Chambre de Commerce, d'industrie rie de Paris' from Frank's trip toParis in 2009 is available for loan in the library, an animation resource not available to any other animation students in Australia.

7. There are a number of Miyazaki films available for loan, they are; Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Nausicaa, Kiki's Delivery Service and Porco Rosso.

8. I DID find the library oritentation helpful, I'll definitely be making use of it in the near future (especially for DVD's) and Animation Magazine.
