Animation

| 0 Comments

Yesterday, honeyfields, parakkum, Neil and I went to go watch ASIFA-East's Animation Festival. I liked many of them, and disliked just as many. I won't bother trying to find the ones I didn't like, partially because to watch them again would be far too traumatizing.


Two in particular by
Blur Studios, "In the Rough" and "Gopher It" that I felt were impressive. When they put in the DVD for these shorts, both parakkum and I wanted to see "Rockfish", a sci-fi short in the bottom left of the DVD menu.I'm happy to report that Blur Studios has all of the shorts online (thought it may be a bit of a download for those on slow connections).


An episode of Codename: Kids Next Door was shown, as was various segments from Sesame Street. One name kept popping up: Jennifer Oxley, who does woodcut animations. I rather enjoyed those shorts, although they may be too overly sweet for some people.
