Mysteries of Pig City Revealed!
June 10th, 2009
“The Mystery of Pig City” is a film fest favorite created by Garth Jones and Johnny Luu. We caught up with Garth to shoot the breeze about the film and various mystery meats.
Channel Frederator: Where did you study animation?
Garth Jones: Johnny and I both studied at the International Film School of Wales, in Newport.
CF: Who or what has influenced your style the most?
GJ: At the time I had just seen UPA’s “Gerald McBoing Boing” which was a massive influence - it also showed me a world of amazing animation designers like Mary Blair and more recent artists like Tim Biskup. All the backgrounds in “Pig City” were ‘cut-out’ in Photoshop which was a fun limitation to keep everything in the same style.
CF: What gave you the idea for “Pig City”?
