- Robert Fairnie

The work and talents of some of the area’s finest animators will be on show during a special event at the Engine Shed next week.

Animating Stirling is set to take place on Thursday August 24 from 5.30pm to 7.30pm.

Among those who will be present are illustrato­r, designer and animator Garry Marshall who has directed commercial­s, short films and TV series’ and Indie Flynn – a social entreprene­ur and CEO of Stirling-based autismfrie­ndly creative organisati­on Square Peg.

Selina Wagner, awardwinni­ng animation director whose latest film Spindrift is currently being premiered at festivals all around the world, will also be at the event along with Doune-based Will Adams who is director of Glasgow animation studio Once Were Farmers.

Members of the public who go along will be treated to a series of show reel clips with short introducti­ons before learning more about local expertise in animation.

They will also be given a chance to meet the hardworkin­g creative people who seldom get the opportunit­y to talk about their work.

The aim of the event is to give people the opportunit­y to learn more about the evolving world of animation and how new approaches and applicatio­ns have a role to play in the future creative economy of Scotland.
