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.”

Gack visits BIFF

As mentioned previously, the BIFF screening schedule is not for the faint of heart. There are Beaufortonians that have seen EVERY film at all four BIFF festivals since its inception. This year over 4000 people watched the films and attended the Festival’s events.

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.

MOTHER NATURE INTERVENED WITH A VENGEANCE!!!

 A barrage of wind and rain attacked the school. Water poured in from a bank of windows and the wind gave an added dimension to the end of the 2D film.

 Then the lights went out!

Unlike other years, when finding the ideas for a new short projects were scarce, this year, that has not been the case. A plethora of films have presented themselves - just waiting to be produced.

Even though the New Year has begun, it’s not too late to think about a few resolutions… animation and otherwise…

Congrats to Executive Producers Charlotte and Bill Rinderknecht. PETE’S ODYSSEY been awarded an INDIE FEST award.
