Jack Brandtman’s Weblog

This Blog was created for the purpose of my visual arts degree and i want to develop it into a sight where i can give updates on my art and interests. I’m currently a student in my second year at the Australian Nation University studying Visual Arts majoring in painting. In the last couple of years i have developed a huge interest in the digital arts, especially in animation. Since i was a child most of my fondest memories have been from watching movies with my older brother. It wasn’t until i found myself going to see Meet The Robinsons with him in 2007, we laughed and both enjoyed the movie so much. It recalled memories of when we went to see Toy Story together as kids and the awesome line where Woody goes “hey i just lit a rocket, rockets explode!” and we both looked at each-other and cried it was so funny. I left  Meet The Robinsons saying; How did they do that? and i want to do it! I then learnt about the art behind animation and i was consumed by this world which i had no idea existed. I found a purpose for my artistic drive i am hoping over the next few years to finish my painting degree which i love and then perusing a study in animation and film.
