GIRAF 5 Panel Discussion Animators Cordell Barker, Amanda Forbis, Wendy Tilby and Richard Reeves and moderator Bryson Montgomery discuss hot topics in the animation community: Independent vs. Commercial interests, the influence of digital technologies on traditional techniques and communal projects, and how animation can be used to address sensitive social issues. This panel discussion took place November 8, 2009 in the Quickdraw Animation Society Screening Room as part of the 5th annual GIRAF festival of independent and experimental animation.

His natural talent and passionate dedication evolved into the creation of his own characters and sets in his parent’s basement. His puppet stop motion short "A Recipe for Disaster" played at this year’s Calgary International Film Festival and the prestigious Ottawa International Animation Festival. Eric shared the techniques that inspired him to pursue the art of animation during this workshop held November 8, 2009 as part of the GIRAF5.
