No Words

"Every animator is feeling sullen today. Take a moment and reflect, then use it tomorrow to make something amazing, frame by frame." - Nate Walpole

Although we're super backed up with posts, here (don't worry, they're coming!) we can't help but to take a minute to honor the great Ray Harryhausen. There are no words to express the gratitude I'm sure we all feel towards the unbelievable gift he gave to the animation community that was his life and his career.

Thank you for paving the way for the rest of us, and congratulations on having lived such a long and extraordinary life.

(PS: Jason and the Argonauts changed mine forever.)

Borderlands Animation Collaborative!

The Borderlands Animation project class is now listed for the summer semester under the following name: 

1360_ANM_498_01: COLLABORATIVE PROJECT: ANIMATION IN PRODUCTION

David Latour be teaching the class with Chris Armstrong. You don't have to take the class to pick up shots for borderlands animation, but only folks enrolled in the class will be guaranteed to get work. This class does not have a portfolio requirement but it will require that the instructors see your ten second reel in our first module to help determine how to divide up the initial shots.

This will be a great opportunity to work on a popular franchise in a collaborative learning environment. Space is limited, so sign up right away!
