She has worked as character animator in feature films such as ''Marmaduke'', ''Clash of the Titans'', ''The Golden Compass'', ''The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian'', ''The Iron Giant'', and ''Quest for Camelot''.〔(Shift Run Stop Episode 17: Sydney Padua ) interview〕〔(Sydney Padua at imdb.com )〕 Her work has been exhibited at the BBC Tech Lab 〔(BBC ''The Tech Lab:'' Sydney Padua )〕 and at a Steampunk exhibition by Oxford's Museum of the History of Science.〔(Lovelace and Babbage at the Museum of the History of Science )〕 She gave a conference on storytelling at ''The Story'',〔(The Story - About )〕〔(The Story - Who will be there? )〕 an event shared with Cory Doctorow, Tim Etchells, David Hepworth, Aleks Krotoski, and Tony White among others. ==''The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage''== Sydney Padua writes the steampunk webcomic ''2D Goggles or The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage''.〔(The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage )〕〔(Experiments in Comics with Sydney Padua )〕 It features a pocket universe where Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage have actually built an analytical engine and use it to "fight crime" at Queen Victoria's request.〔(Babbage and Lovelace Vs The Client )〕 Also featured in the comic is the great engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, whom Padua has called "The Wolverine of the early Victorians.〔http://sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/brunel/〕" The comic is based on thorough research on the biographies and correspondence between Babbage and Lovelace, as well as other bits of early Victoriana, which is then twisted for humorous effect. "Some of the documents are more entertaining than the actual comic. Plenty of times, I've thrown something into the comic just so I'd have an excuse to refer to some document," Padua says.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sydney Padua and "The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage" )〕 The comic began as a one-shot for Ada Lovelace Day, a celebration of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Disliking the fact that both Babbage and Lovelace died with their life work incomplete, Padua ended the comic with the alternate events, then found that "a lot of people saw it and thought that I was actually going to do a comic, which I had no intention of doing. But then I started thinking, 'What if I actually did the comic?' I started fooling around, and I guess I'm still fooling around with it."〔 The comic was the source of a limited edition print of 25 to raise money for The Ada Initiative in July 2011. Episodes are also available as an iPhone app. The comic was adapted as a stage show, ''A Note of Discord ''by Theatre Paradok at the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In April 2015, the comic was published as a 320-page book titled ''The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage'' by Pantheon Books. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sydney Padua」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
