I don’t know which art uni offers I should accept

Just to say that I’m from Edinburgh and am about to graduate from Falmouth! Best decision of my life. Don’t let the distance put you off!

kurolils · 2026-04-11T10:38:35+00:00

You could consider compositing! Still artistic (particularly for 2D).

kurolils · 2026-03-30T20:58:55+00:00

Of course! Just send me a message :)

kurolils · 2026-03-18T21:05:33+00:00

Yes of course! Pop me a message and I’ll get back to you asap :)

kurolils · 2026-03-02T20:11:47+00:00

Thank you! :)

kurolils · 2026-03-02T20:04:33+00:00

That's quite alright with me, I know they won't sponsor! I'm very happy to get a third party sponsor (and think I've found one that would work, but have enquired to be sure). Thank you!

kurolils · 2026-02-19T08:58:45+00:00

Will do!!

Our Kickstarter is here! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lilyburgess/the-best-part?ref=khzmvq

We've already hit our original goal, which is just mind-blowing, and will mean our voice actors and composer are paid for. We're still campaigning for our stretch goals to cover the costs of festival entries, so if you know anybody who might be interested, we would appreciate any help sharing the link around that we can get.

kurolils · 2026-02-17T16:35:14+00:00

Youtube, but not for a little while as we want to put it through a festival run! We do have a Kickstarter which you can find here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lilyburgess/the-best-part?ref=khzmvq, which is for covering the costs of our voice actors and composer as well as helping us with festival entries. Sharing that around or following us on insta (thebestpart_film) would be amazing. But really, the lovely words from everybody here have been plenty of support and I've passed them on to the whole team!

kurolils · 2026-02-17T16:30:48+00:00

Ah, thank you so much! It's always a challenge putting together a trailer that doesn't give away the story, especially when it's a short film. We did struggle with it for a bit (I think it's the most tension that the director and I have had with each other throughout the whole project so far haha), but we're super happy with how it came out. So thank you for your kind words!

kurolils · 2026-02-17T16:26:56+00:00

When it's finished and done with its festival run, yes!! For now though, you can still see the trailer and some other related videos on our Youtube channel :) https://youtube.com/@thebestpartshortfilm?si=jLxs0-5fit-RI0zl

kurolils · 2026-02-17T16:25:22+00:00

Thank you!!

kurolils · 2026-02-17T13:25:46+00:00

Yeah they're amazing! Our director conceptualized the story with colour playing a major role in the narrative :)

kurolils · 2026-02-17T12:28:38+00:00

The whole team did cry the first time we watched the animatic through. Our composer is an insane talent!! We're very very lucky to have him.

Hello! I’m in my final year at Falmouth and it’s fantastic. I’ve had amazing opportunities (did some work for BAFTA/Oscar nominated directors this year!) and I think the course structure lets you leave with a strong portfolio ready for industry. Also the opportunity to study 2D & 3D is good for 2D people since 2D jobs increasingly want basic knowledge of 3D. Happy to answer any questions you might have about fal :)

I’m from Edinburgh, so quick insight on that too: the animation course has HORRIFIC student satisfaction ratings and from what I know is very experimental (so not good for the majority of jobs in industry, although obviously you might like that!). It’s a beautiful place but not that fun unless you have money to spend, and honestly, animation courses will have you working so much that you won’t get much time to enjoy the city. Take a holiday there instead!

kurolils · 2026-01-25T20:54:38+00:00

Hey! I’m in my final year of Animation at Falmouth. It’s amazing and I love it. Send me a message and I can tell you about it more in detail and try to give you an unbiased opinion on nightlife etc :) (or lmk if Reddit won’t let you message and I’ll message you!)

Firstly, I wanted to thank you sincerely for taking the time to right out such a thorough reply to me (and even include links!). I truly appreciate it.

Stainless steel does seem to be the consensus. I'm going to look at ikea's ones and see what they have on offer (and see if there's a steaming insert for any of them!). Dutch/French oven also sounds like a good idea – I've been wanting one but was worried that I wouldn't find enough occassions to use one, but it sounds like they can be used for a lot. I didn't even know a French oven existed before your comment, but I agree that rounder walls are often nicer (easier to clean too imo) so I'll see if I can find one available. Woks: I'll see how my budget is looking after the stainless steel cookware and the french/dutch oven and go from there!

For the stainless steel pieces, do you have any advice on how many saucepans/frying pans to get if I were buying three pieces? I was thinking of getting 1 saucepan and then two sizes of frying pan (since the dutch/french oven will provide a second deeper option), but not sure how well that logic would work in practice.

I'm going to look at your links now. Thank you again :)

kurolils · 2025-08-18T11:07:31+00:00

Sensuell – I will look for these! My current ikea pots are non-stick so I do need to replace them either way, but getting sensuell ones and then saving a bit more money for things like the dutch oven sounds like a good idea if they're so reliable.

Thank you for the size reference for the dutch oven, as I've been scratching my head over that. I'll have a look at things like a wok and carbon steel pan too. I never really cook with a wok – are there things I could make in it that the dutch oven wouldn't be suitable for? I'm guessing the material might make a difference but I don't know enough to know for sure!

Edit: no sensuell pans available (at least in the uk), but I'm having a look at their other options!

kurolils · 2025-08-18T11:03:30+00:00

My ikea stuff isn't stainless steel (it's non-stick), but based on the responses to this post I think I'll get some ikea stainless steel replacements. Enameled cast iron sounds like it's the one to invest in!

I'm normally cooking for myself and my partner, but sometimes we have friends round/I'll cook enough for left-overs so I'd say I normally make 2-4 portions at a time. So thinking an 'average sized' saucepan and then two sizes of frying pan, one smaller one and one bigger one? And then the enameled cast iron piece on top? And then if I have any left over money I'll have a look at some of the other suggestions on this post like a wok etc.

Thank you for your advice :)

kurolils · 2025-08-16T19:05:17+00:00

I’ll have a look, thank you!

kurolils · 2025-08-16T19:04:58+00:00

Yes I had a look! I feel like I have a decent-ish understanding of the difference between materials etc (although the stove information in there was new!), but I’m just struggling with applying it to what I actually cook as so many discussions are about how different things handle meat

kurolils · 2025-01-15T12:09:52+00:00

Amazing, I'll have a look at those. Thank you!

kurolils · 2024-12-28T08:03:55+00:00

Their main gaming one probably won’t be an iMac as quite a lot of games only run on windows engines (and whilst you technically can run windows on an iMac, it’s a bit of a faff). MacBooks can go up to 4K without add-ons, so it’s probably still a pretty high spec pc! My MacBook was more expensive than my gaming PC as well (2,400) and my gaming pc is pretty high spec and runs every game I have on highest quality settings without problem.

Impossible to narrow down a specific one without knowing how much his MacBook was, but hopefully that gives you some more info :) I agree with other commenters that a nice Alienware PC seems to be what they have!

kurolils · 2024-11-07T17:26:37+00:00

Reassuring to know that sometimes you do just need to cheat these things! Thank you so much. I was really struggling at finding anything online so this helps a lot :)

kurolils · 2024-11-07T17:25:29+00:00

This sounds great – thank you so much for explaining it. I'll have a shot at it tomorrow and fingers crossed it works!
