Friday - No Really
Yesterday`s post had Friday listed, not Thursday. But that is the Comic Con Time Warp for you. So yesterday was really great even if I don`t know what day was up.
We packed the Pixar Documentary with Leslie Iwerks, filling a 2,000-seat hall. People into spontaneous applause 8 or 9 times during the screening.
Garrett Gilchrist came up to before the Pixar screening and we had a chance to talk after the screening. Garrett is the guy that did the amazing Re-Cobbled Thief and the Cobbler last year. Seems he found more and better footage and is planning of revisiting this important project. Can`t wait. I am thinking of trying to talk him into talking to some of my classes next year.
Re-connected with Jay Francis after the excellent UPA panel. Jay uses to be the recruiter at Film Roman he is now at Disney as Director Animation Development. Unfortunately I didn`t have time to talk to him because I had to run to the Pixar screening.
My Animation on a ShoeString panel went very well. I was going through my ebook giving tips on how to set up a studio and showing video examples when I came to a section on Internet promotion.
I told the story of a computer animation I did in late 1996 where I killed the Dance Baby and fed his wireframe soul to the Old Gods because I was sick of seeing the little monster on every other TV show and commercial. It is a little piece name The Dancing Baby Meet Cthulhu. (here is a non-sound version)
The point I was making was that you never know what will happen when you put something on the Internet. A Lovecraft Convention wanted this animation for a Lovecraft Film Festival. The other point was that you need to label your backups so you can get back to old work. It took me more time to find my assets than it did to do the animation in the first place. The audience made me screen it. Something I try not to do with my computer animation from that time period.
I have my kids with me today. Tobias has been coming to Comic Con since he was 7 and Raven has been coming here since she was 5. I am still having trouble getting photos to upload or I would show you a photo of his vest with every badge from ever convention he has ever been too picked on it.
Today:
