featured artist - Suky Best is an animation artist who uses a technique of drawing over video that she films specially for the purpose. This can be a slow and long process but she never seems to get bored. We filmed Suky as she set out to make a new animation about birds of prey. Although she has made lots of films about birds but this is the first time she has looked at very fast moving hunting birds.
See how she got on by watching the time-lapse video clip.

Suky also visits the National Media Museum in Bradford to find out more about early animation machines.
