So Fanime was absolutely bonkers. I’m totally blown away. Thank you to everyone who visited my table; it was especially spectacular meeting so many Sherlock fans and getting a chance to share my weird obsessions. You are all amazing <3

To celebrate the release of Wreck and finally crossing this big deadline that’s been looming over me, I wanna do a short giveaway! I haven’t done this before so please forgive me if I do something super wrong @w@;;

Please read all the details under the cut!

From Pencils to Pixels (2003)- Imagine BBC

Around the time when Disney were in the midst of releasing ‘Finding Nemo’ around the world, accomplished broadcaster Alan Yentob sets his task of celebrating the phenomena of the animated feature film on his arts show ‘Imagine’, and attempts to evaluate the argument set by Pixar’s “Toy Story”, of whether there is a future for traditional animated techniques in the age of computer and digital imaging.

This episode was the main reason why I took into animation more seriously, and I highly recommend you should watch it. It gives credit to the milestone features and pioneers of animation history, and includes interviews with directors John Lasseter and Nick Park, top animator Eric Goldberg and even an exclusive with two of Disney’s Nine Old Men, the one and only Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson!

Agggh I love this movie and the designs in it

The reason I own this movie it’s because of that scene. I love how the characters are still recognizable even being another animals.

I’ve heard wonderful things about Journey, and just seeing the animation and hearing the music convinces me.

New Gatsby Trailer

I’m kinda excited about how overstylized it is which may backfire.  I mean it’s not surprising looking at who worked on the film.  It seems big.  I can’t tell if I like the choice of music in the trailer but I can see what they were going for.  

ah, this trailer looks/sounds gorgeous. Sadly this isn’t a book I’ve read so I probably should do it before I see it.

To be perfectly honest… the two male leads in this film, compared to the rest of the men sort of… look too young to me. Both Tobey and Leo are permanently teenagers in my mind and it ruins it for me because EVERYONE else is older looking. I can’t take their voices seriously. Damn me :(

Avengers storyboards by Jane Wu

Storyboard artist Jane Wu (Mulan II, Shane Acker’s 9) has posted two of her dynamic boards from Marvel’s The Avengers. Click on images below to see them in animatic form. It’s nice to know that strong work like this, from seasoned animation professionals like Wu, went into creating the blockbuster hit movie.
