Thursday ASIFA Programming at Comic Con
ASIFA-Hollywood, us, (and in some ways me, since I put together the ASIFA programming) have a lot of cool stuff coming down at San Diego Comic Con on Thursday, July 26th.
NEWS FLASH: Not all of Comic Con happens on Saturday. I know that Saturday is the big day but there is some powerful stuff scheduled on the other days.
Since Hollywood has discover San Diego (it happened a number of years ago as part of a drunken scavenger hunt) the pressure is to up scale all of Comic Con programming to blockbuster levels. Sadly, all the funky little special interest presentations I use to so dearly love are gone, gone, way of the Dodo gone and the spill over on Thursday is getting higher profile every year.
ANIMATION ON A SHOESTRING - 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM ROOM 30 CDE: I kick off the ASIFA-Hollywood Comic Con programming with my Animation on a $hoe$ring (tm) presentation. This is the 6th year I have brought my how to create a low cost animation studio presentation to San Diego. Last year I bought a DVD by an animator who used my book in the process of creating his animaiton.
MAVERICKS, MAGIC AND MAGOO - 6:00 PM to7:00 PM ROOM 3, Fred Crippen, famous UPA animator and creator of Roger Ramjet, joins Tee Bosustow, the son of legendary UPA founder Stephen Bosutow, and moderator Larry Loc for a lively look at the lasting legacy (like the aliteration?) of UPA with screenings of rare UPA films and commercials and footage from Tee`s upcoming UPA documentary.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
THE PIXAR STORY -TO INFINITY AND BEYOND: [some time around 10 PM room to be announced] A look at Pixar, the studio that has revolutionized animation by Oscar nominated documentary director Leslie Iwerks. This one is going to be giant and in a 2,000 seat theatre. It is also going to be the U.S. premiere of this killer documentary by the very talented granddaughter of animation legend and pioneer, Ub Iwerks. Leslie will be on hand but they won`t be time for Q & A during the presentation.
There it is. Thursday has never really been a throw-away day at Comic Con, it is even less so now. And here is a secret, sometimes you can even see the floor in the dealer`s room on Thursdays, if you look real quickly and you are lucky. Try that on Saturday.
