To kick off the new year, here's another piece of animation from "Yellow Cake" for you. It's a short scene again, but for some reason most of the scenes I've been doing have only been a couple of seconds in length.

More Yellow animation

2007 - Plog year in review
Well, it's been three years since I started this production blog. Quite a long time in internet terms...
Overall, it was a pretty good year. It started off well with the release of "The Waif of Persephone" on DVD in January. I was quite surprised by how many orders I received within the first week (thanks mostly to a great plug by Amid Amidi on Cartoon Brew.)
Also in 2007, I started the animation on my newest animated short film, "Yellow Cake." I've actually been making fairly steady progress on it (albeit with a few delays here-and-there). "Yellow Cake" is my seventh independent short film to date. I actually started making my own films in 1998-ten years ago!. Click here for digital versions of most of them. My goal for this year is to try to get this film finished and put out a DVD containing all of my films, plus as many extra goodies as I can find.
The professional highlight for me this year was getting the opportunity to do a short animated piece for Yo Gabba Gabba! This was one of the most enjoyable projects I've ever done and working for them was great.
The other highlight was the Ottawa Animation Festival wherein "The Waif of Persephone" was in competition. Although it didn't win an award, it seemed to get a good reception and I got to meet a bunch of really cool people. In 2007, it played at quite a few festivals around the world and I'm hoping to enter that film into a bunch more festivals this year before retiring the film to possible internet broadcast.
And last but not least was a really cool article that Chris Robinson wrote about me for Guerilla Magazine.
Well, that's about it for 2007. Hopefully there will be some big news happening this year. There's a couple of cool things bubbling away that can't be disclosed as of yet...but keep your fingers crossed!
