Oliver Brook's animation about American Indian Life is on permanent display at Hastings Museum. Oliver, a year 2 FdA Illustration student, worked with film maker Nick Pilton to create a film celebrating the life of Grey Owl and the American Indian way of life. Grey Owl lived the life of an American Indian combining this with visits to England to spread the word about the ecologically sensitive lifestyle. After his death it was revealed that he was in fact born in Hastings.
Oliver used paper collage and stop frame animation to create his animation. This simplicity and boldness works well within the context of the new display the museum have created. It forms one part of a collection of films.
