The Giddiest Kipper
with Gavin Strange
OVERVIEW
Gavin Strange takes great pride in being the giddiest kipper he can possibly be. A Senior designer for Bristol’s Aardman Animations by day and pixel plonker for his own personal projects going under the name of JamFactory by night, let Gavin share his excitement and energy for creativity, mixed in with reflecting on past projects and lessons learnt along the way, all delivered via the medium of animated GIFs and keynote transitions.
OBJECTIVE
To excite, to energise and to encourage on personal projects, paid work and life in general!
TARGET AUDIENCE
Every man, woman and child. Anyone with ears.
FIVE THINGS AUDIENCE MEMBERS WILL LEARN
How to love
How to laugh
How to live
How to look
How to ignore the first 4 of these and to find your own passion and remember how lucky we are to be in a position to have the power of making things!
30. Professor Stephen Hawking, 2015 Reith Lecture
BLACK HOLES AREN’T AS BLACK AS THEY’RE
PAINTED.
THEY ARE NOT THE ETERNAL PRISONS WE
ONCE THOUGHT.
THINGS CAN GET OUT OF A BLACK HOLE, BOTH
TO THE OUTSIDE AND POSSIBLY TO ANOTHER
UNIVERSE.
SO IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE IN A BLACK HOLE,
DON’T GIVE UP, THERE’S A WAY OUT.

THEN WHAT?
YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW
TO WORK YOUR WAY INSIDE.
KEEP UP WITH WHAT’S CAUSING
CHAOS IN YOUR OWN FIELD”
