Episode #11: Daily Afri-mations. Animating Ethiopia (Slow and Steady Wins the Race)

by kpalana | Dec 17, 2015 | Blog

One thing I forgot to mention is that one of my poor students, Hermella, got arrested for trying to do her animation homework over the weekend. She was shooting a simple scene of kids playing soccer in a public place. The police didn’t like that apparently and...

by kpalana | Dec 16, 2015 | Blog

I Am With You I’m down to my last few days in “Hope-ia” as my youngest son calls Ethiopia. I will have a busy day helping students with their animations tomorrow so will just post a few photos from the week so far. First up, this is my walk to the...

by kpalana | Dec 11, 2015 | Blog

Down Down in Hope-ia   As is not uncommon here, my plans have changed. Instead of going to Harar today, we will go to Bahir Dar, close to the Blue Nile Falls, the source of the Nile tomorrow morning until Sunday night. Lucrezia went to buy the tickets since we...

Episode #6: Daily Afri-Mations. Animating Ethiopia (The Six Syllable Thank You)

by kpalana | Dec 10, 2015 | Blog
