*UPDATE*
“Please Say Something 1-15″ just won Best Animation at the festival!
Thanks to everyone who helped get the film in last minute, and those of you who voted. I really appreciate it.
The talk went extremely well, the turnout even including celebrity computer graphics genius Ken Perlin, whose work stretches back to doing the groundbreaking 3d on Tron.
Hai, Ive been busy doing the initial concept art on Garth Jennings’s next feature, which is really exciting. The only downside is it’ll take a couple of years till anyone sees it. My work on Garth’s last film Son of Rambow was recently covered by AWN, it has a clip of the dream sequence as well. Have a look!
Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes. We had a great night joined by animation luminaries Shynola, Tokyoplastic, PES and Dougal Wilson. At one point in the night we actually discovered the greatest single idea ever, but then forgot it soon afterwards. It was something to do with cats.
Fans of PSS: I took the ads away a while back, after 20k views they made about $11, kind of pointless. Also, it just won an honorary mention at Ars Electronica, it seems to have been beaten by a hair to the top spot by Pixczar. The next 5 episodes are practically finished, need to clear some music for them. **If anyone is interested in making a better site for these please get in touch!
Finally thanks to everyone who attended my talk at the backup festival/bauhaus university, I had a great time there.
For anyone reading this wanting to go to my talk at the webinale.. the timeslot just changed to 2:35 on the Tuesday 27th, there was a mixup with my flights. its now at 5:30, tuesday 27th.
Im going to talk about some completely new ideas relating to movement, I have no idea if it will make sense to anyone. Im also going to premiere the latest 5 episodes of PSS at the end, so please try not to fall asleep, or at least set an alarm for half an hour after i begin.
Pictoplasma is heading to New York!
I will be speaking with fellow dignitaries Tim Biskup, Fons Schiedon, FWY, Akinori Oishi, Motomichi Nakamura, Aaron Stewart and Gangpol & Mit.
Son of Rambow is being released in cinemas today!
I began work on this film about 2 years ago, making hundreds of drawings, illustrations, flipbooks, props etc. basically everything the main character puts his hand to. I also directed/animated all the CG animation in the film, from my miniature studio in the barge next to Hammer & Tongs.
Here’s a list of theatres playing it in London. Go see it!
