THE ANIMATION PROCESS- WORKING WITH THUMBNAILS BEFORE THE ANIMATION BEGINS

Here I am hip deep in GACKS and MIMIS. The dark side of the force has tried to lure me to its side. “Go ahead…just start animating.” It whispers. “No one will know. Crank out that footage and just get it done.”

When folks say making a film is one of the hardest things to achieve –they are not kidding - especially if you are going it alone – in your own studio – on your own time – and without much of a budget.

Well, it had to happen sometime. As much fun as Savannah is or was – there comes a time when a move is the next progressive step. For us, it seems to be every four or five years

After a welcome from the mayor and a few words from Ron Tucker, CEO of the Festival (he was the one who mentioned the party aspects) we mixed among the other guests and caught glimpses of the Festival’s special guests, Blythe Danner and Michael O’Keefe. 

The Animation Winter Wonderland Tour was interrupted  by my crashed hard drive.

The animation masterclass I taught at Bloomfield was wonderful!

Next up the Savannah International Animation Festival.
