Pixar Rocks and it's also been a crazy busy couple of months!
Category: News

I just got back from the Pixar Master class in Montreal... ok a couple weekends a go.. but still it was great and my brain is crammed full of animation goodness. Matther Luhn and Andrew Gordon did a great job teaching animation techniques and principles and story-boarding and also showing their methods when working on a Pixar film. They used plenty of examples from other films as well.
I highly recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to go to one. It was very energizing.

The World Wide Short Film Fest in Toronto just passed as well and i had planned to attend some workshop there as well, including a master class by Bill Plympton. Alas i had too much work to finish and ended up missing out on it. Dag Nabbit!

BUT there's been much happening here at Frog Feet. In addition to creating various animatics for the fine folks at Storieboards I've just finished animation for the opening of Pocket Change Films' feature film: "At Home By Myself... With You". It's a fun little rom-comedy about a girl (Kristin Booth) who develops so many phobias growing up she never leaves her apartment, even though she is a travel agent. Eventually a new neighbour moves in next door..and well you can see the movie. Hopefully it will be in the 2009 Toronto Film Fest but we're still waiting to here and find out for sure.

Here's a couple of screen shots from the opening animation of "At Home By Myself... With You". All done in a sort of paper cut-out animation style. Several other animated sequences were also created for the film and I'm anxious to see them on the big screen!

enjoy!
