Animation test and interview

Here's a short (very short) piece of animation I did a couple months ago as a test for a proposed series based on the children's books by Tomson Highway.



Also, here's an interview I did about my most recent film, Yellow Cake, for Motionographer.com.

Angora Napkin "Airdate"

Hey everybody.

Angora Napkin, the pilot I made with Troy Little last year will finally be broadcast...on the internet. I believe they are calling this a "non-linear launch" Which is both good and bad. Bad because we were hoping it would be shown on television, which was the original intention, but good because now everybody can see it even if you don't live in Canada.

So it will be shown on October 30th at thedetour.ca
It will also be available on iTunes but I'm not sure of the details of that...but the important thing is that it will only be online for one week so watch it while you can!

In the meantime, here's the original opening bumper that we wanted to have at the start of the show, but the network didn't like....so here it is for posterity.

Yellow Cake complete!

It's finished! I started working on Yellow Cake in November of 2006 right after I finished production on 'The Waif of Persephone'. So, after almost exactly 3 years it's all done!

I've decided to make this film a 'direct-to-internet' release. I will also be sending it around on the festival circuit, so hopefully it will be coming to a screen near you sometime soon.

Until then, enjoy!

***UPDATE***


I added a 'zazzle' store to my sidebar. I'm selling "Yellow Cake" T-shirts with the above design on them. I might be adding some more stuff in the near future if these sell well.

Thanks for all the great comments everybody!

News

Wow...time flies. Sorry about the lack of updates but I have been putting the finishing touches on my latest film, Yellow Cake. It should be finished in the next week or so. Updates to follow, but in the meantime here's some backgrounds to whet your appetite,


In other news, King of Magazines, has been accepted in the 2009 Holland Animation Festival. It will also be showing in the Ottawa Animation Festival next month. It will be playing in Short Competition 2 on Thursday, October 18th at 9:15pm.
Also, the pilot I co-created and directed is premiering at the Ottawa Animation Festival this year. It is showing on Thursday, October 18th at 11:30 pm, which is past my bedtime, but I'll make an exception in this case.

See you there!
