I am very pleased to announce that I am part of this amazing project called "Aria for a cow". I got contacted by the art director Amos Sussigan to be a layout designer/ Vis dev for the short animation. After our first chat I was immediately taken by the concept of the story as well as the direction they had for the production. What I also was very thankful about is that they love the fact that the "Production Barn" is a global one with people from around the world collaborating together.
Directed by Dan Lund, Aria For A Cow, is an animated short, based on a song of the same title by the award-winning team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, the men behind the music of Little Shop of Horrors, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and The Beast, is about to find its voice. Produced by Connie Thompson, associate producer Nikitha Mannam, and sung by Kate Pazakis.
I started in October and since I am thankful everyday that I can be part of this project. During my stay in Burbank in November I was able to meet with Amos, Dan, the layout director Edwin Rhemrev, Connie, Nikitha and had a little get together on the Saturday and was the first time I got to meet everyone in person. Everything about how the production works is exactly what makes me want to be an artist in the entertainment industry: we get together (or in my case skype and email) and discuss ideas, options, how to make things work and after some hard work we see a great product to be proud of for all to enjoy. Not only because of the story of the song itself but the story behind the production is for me a major part of the magic, with every team member bringing their own take & experience to the table , building not only a few minutes of fun to watch but having had months or years worth of happy memories working together.
