San Francsisco Film Festival

I've had the pleasure to go to the 58th San Francisco International Film Festival   where Aria premier in the shorts category. I have had such an amazing time getting back together with the crew, celebrating like we should with a wrap party to remember, our first interview and sharing our knowledge with some very enthusiastic school kids.

Aria for a Cow Teaser

Aria for a Cow [Teaser] from Aria for a Cow on Vimeo.

Aria for a Cow is an animated musical short based on a previously unreleased song by the Oscar winning team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (“Little Shop of Horrors”, “Little Mermaid”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “Aladdin”).

When a callow young farmer shows himself to be completely uninterested in the sensitive art of milking a dairy cow, Aria, a bovine diva, along with her singing and dancing back up bulls, belts out a tune demanding to be respected for more than just dairy products. Aria and her friends take us through a fast- paced musical journey. In the end, our young farmer learns to respect the collaborative effort that made Krelborn farms and its cows an award winning dairy farm.

Sketch inspired from watching “The Ghost in our machines” .

Observational paintings

I'm taking a self taught class about painting light and colour which is all about observation. So to start off here is a banana!

I'm working on a personal project and trying to figure out the style I want to use and playing with colours. Small trial on some rocks. Feeling the need to push further out my comfort zone.

Animex

Last week I got to attend the Animex Expo taking place at Teesside University in Middlesbough. It is the the largest festival dedicated to animation and computer games in the UK. I was only able to attend the last two day of the talks but it was never the less amazing and really inspiring. I got to meet speakers, students, graduates, making new friends along the way thanks to the "Animex Lounge" evening, and during the Wrap Party on the Friday. If you haven't been I really recommend you plan it for next year! More info HERE
