Having seen Purves only a couple of days previously, it was inevitable that there were some overlaps in the topics discussed in Leeds and in this, his opening night gala appearance at London Animation Festival. However, Purves is a truly engaging man, with some fascinating opinions and insights into the world of animation, many of which touch directly on the core of what my essay is about: the similarities between theatrical and stop motion puppetry.
This event was essentially a retrospective, looking back at a variety of Purves' work, from across his career, from TV adverts, to his work in children's television, and his own short films. This was also an opportunity to re watch Plume. One audience member had travelled all the way from New York just for the pleasure of watching this beautiful short.
