To drive the point home, the screening included “Love and Theft” by Andreas Hydake, a film that’s been online for a while but I’ve never quite had the patience to sit through.  It’s mesmerizing on the big screen.  Here’s the little screen version of it — perhaps try headphones and sitting super close to your monitor. http://goodeaton.com/blog/2010/11/22/attended-the-animation-show-of-shows-put-together-by-acme-filmworks-head-ron-diamond-just-last-week-standouts-included-a-new-20-min-film-8220maska8221-by-the-legendary-brothers-quay-amp-on-the-other-e/ http://goodeaton.com/blog/2010/11/22/perpetuayou-know-what-is-cute-and-super-fun-this-interactive-coloring-book-music-video-for-au-revoir-simones-song-knight-of-wands-go-on-make-something-pretty/ Bill Plympton’s studio has cut together the animatic (aka rough cut) of the Guard Dog Global Jam, consisting of the style frames & any finished animation to date.  I finished my scene earlier this week, and it’s in there – check out shot 3! http://goodeaton.com/blog/2010/11/17/bill-plympton8217s-studio-has-cut-together-the-animatic-aka-rough-cut-of-the-guard-dog-global-jam-consisting-of-the-style-frames-amp-any-finished-animation-to-date-i-finished-my-scene-earlier-this-wee/ The NY Times highlights molecular animations that are produced for/by biologists and have crossed over to the art world.
