"I made this in 4th year at animation school at Sheridan. 5 months of storyboarding and re-boarding, 2 weeks of design and 3 months of mad production. Its all now but a fuzzy dream. There are a lot of things that were rushed, but it is what it is. Over the last year C Block has been showing in a few festivals around the world, and I was fortunate to attend a couple of them. I will try to make a a summary of it all at some point."

Speaking of Animation

This is from a cool new website called Speaking of Animation:
Here’s evidence that proper acting and gestures are more important than lip-sync.
(It’s a clip Pete Docter showed in a lecture a couple years ago.)
So make sure your character’s body sells the line before you go crazy trying to get the lip-sync right.

Doctor Who?

I was really pleased to find on the Doctor Who page on BBC's website that they have examples of thier concept art and storyboards among other goodies. My husband and I caught up on the ones we missed over the winter break. I *heart* that show!
