Just checked my mail this morning and saw that Channel Frederator Featured Filmmaker Signe Baumane sent a piece of robot art she likes to call “iPot”. Wonderful!
In case some of you are unfamiliar, Signe is one of New York’s leading independent animators. Her films have been featured in countless festivals (including the Nicktoons Network Animation Festival), and her work can also be seen on a DVD called “Avoid Eye Contact”.
Thanks for your pic, Signe. And for the rest of you procrastinators, the deadline is Nov. 8!
Check out the latest from Phil Nibbelink Productions: Romeo and Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss. Phil, a former Disney and Amblimation artist has worked on such feature films as The Fox and the Hound, Oliver and Company and An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. In 1998, Phil and his wife started Phil Nibbelink Productions and went on to do some direct to video projects. In 2003, they began working on “Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss”. The film was made in flash, based on Phil’s own hand drawings. They’ve finally seen their dream become reality as the movie launched this past Friday 10/27 in numerous Los Angeles area locations. “Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss” is the classic Shakespeare story performed under-sea with seals!
Check out the official site for the trailer, screen shots, and a list of locations where you can catch the flick.

ReFrederator kicks off a week of creepy classics with “The Cuckoo Murder Case” wherein Flip the Frog and his independently minded shadow play detective, investigating a haunted house. SPOILER! The jolly frolics take a decidedly dark turn when the murderer turns out to be no less than the Angel of Death himself, who, at this point in his career, was making relatively few cartoon appearances.
There are probably still a few people left on the planet who realize the title of this 1930 Ub Iwerks release is a vague-ish parody of the then ridiculously popular Philo Vance books/movies (they all had names like “The BLANK Murder Case” except BLANK was always a different six lettered word). Of course, today, the bigger mystery is “who the hell is Philo Vance?”
Very Scary Week gets even weirder — just wait!

My 4th victim ( I think my 4th) is Javier Guzman. I’ve been impressed with Javier’s work and I love his style and colors. Lately he does alot of girl illustrations which are absolutely amazing! I’m not exactly sure what programs he uses to make his illustrations, im thinking Flash and Photoshop. Whatever he does, you know its going to look great! Javier’s work has such nice curves, and always includes highlights either on the body or in the hair or in the eyes. Beautiful work and really an artist I look up to.
To check out more of Javier’s work, visit his blog here!
Well, it’s Sunday again, so that means it’s time for religion in animation. This Sunday we’ll be looking at Veggietales.
What was once a somewhat underground animated series done from a modest home office in 1990 grew to be a huge force in home video sales, and even spawned a feature film. If you’ve been to a Wal Mart, odds are that you have seen the Veggietales in one form or another.
Adrian Molina is a 21-year-old CalArts student. This, Unicorn Vs. Narwhal, is Adrian’s Junior year project. Some of the horse animation is incredibly tight, and the overall animatic is well executed. Keep an eye out for fellow student Jen Hagar’s nicely animated cycle of the Unicorns galloping in the circle.
Just look - there are puffs of steam, raindrops, camera moves and blurs, and other minor effects that put some nice finishing touches on this animatic. If you want to be a board artist, this is a nice example to consider.
