Waiting for the barbarians

Reaching the end of the academic year in Westminster Harrow Campus, and working with excellent people both in media production master module and in animation, new paths have opened in front of me. Paths that are more closer to what I am, more artistic and more creative. I felt blessed to be working in animations and teaching After Effects which is so creative and so hands on.

I had also the opportunity to teach UNITY 3D through the module Narrative Explorations. It was a challenging but an absorbing opportunity to teach how to perceive a 3D world and understand how to move in 3 dimension axis, how to create boxes and spheres and capsules transforming them into stairs, sliders, walls and then add colour, texture and lights to make it resemble the real virtual world. It was the moment I felt that students got excited when they realised they could immerse in this world and become part of the environment. I guessed it. Students enjoyed it.

London is a city of contradictions and multi-universes, imposing you to live them all together: parks, nature, beauty, cultural events, entertaining shows, expensive happiness, loneliness, emptiness, superficialness, in and out in meeting new people or stay alone, relax or get extremely stressed out. As you might be thinking you are better without these Barbarians. But then…how can we live without them?
