Andrew burrell came to the university to discuss his practice and experience as a scriptwriter for tv. I had previously talked with and met andrew at maf having taken part in his scriptwriting workshop, so his talk covered a lot of what he discussed at maf.
He discussed the matter of writing with out a cynical mindset and not to dislike your characters. Because the way you perceive your characters is reflected in your writing and if you can't bring yourself to like your characters, even if they're supposed to be dislikable then no one will. A lot of what Andrew talks about lines up with my own perceptions and approaches to character design and the backstory aspect of my practice. To understand and relate to a character it becomes more possible to bring out their qualities in their design and animated performance.
After the presentation i went over and just had a small catch up with him ending on asking if i could send him my extended practice script which he was happy to have a look at.
