Blur Studio: “Rockfish”
An interstellar fishing trip turns into an adrenaline fueled adventure in Blur’s short, “Rockfish”. It was short-listed for an Academy Award, and continues to garner numerous awards around the festival circuit. Written and directed by Tim Miller, Creative Director and founder of Blur Studio, the comic-book influenced adventure has been accepted into more than two dozens top festivals worldwide and won four awards for outstanding animation.
Vin Diesel’s production company, One Race Films, is teaming up with Blur Studio to make a CGI movie based on “Rockfish.” Variety reports Diesel will voice a lead character in the film, which is expected to target an older audience. Diesel and George Zakk will produce with Tim Miller.
As many Channel Frederator viewers can attest, Blur’s work is consistently outstanding. If you haven’t done so already, check out Episode 1 for “In the Rough”, orEpisode 15 for “Aunt Luisa”. It has just been announced that Blur’s newest film, “Gopher Broke” has just been named an official selection of Sundance Film Festival 2006.
Congrats! And thanks again, Tim, for all of your generous contributions to Channel Frederator.

I have seen Rockfish, and let me tell you, it rocks! And, it fishes.
In any case, I was impressed. And Blur studios, who were kind enough to tour me around their cool facility once upon a time last year, also rocks. And fishes.
