Channel Frederator Blog

Being a kid is radical. You already know this - as an animation nerd/connoisseur you are more than likely a giant, fun-loving child. Nobody captures the essence of what it means to enjoy being a kid better than this week’s featured animator, Tom DesLongchamp, in his goofy and sweet short “Kid Show”. Look out for his awesome interview with Channel Frederator later this week!

“Kid Show”, by Tom DesLongchamp - An animated homage to the wonders of being a kid.

Keep your eyes peeled for our new show, Cartoon Hangover, featuring the silliest, smuttiest animation on the web. For your beer-goggled, grown-up eyes only! Yes, you’re a kid a heart, but for serious, this will melt your face off.

Animators whose work is shown on regular episodes of Channel Frederator will receive cash! Learn more about the changes we’ve made here.

I just got back from a lecture and tour of BYU in Utah. Their animation program is quite good, and the industry is taking notice. One of the program’s shorts, “Pajama Gladiator”, was part of the Nicktoons Network Animation Festival this year.

R Brent Adams and the rest of the BYU faculty are doing a great job preparing students for the industry. The students showed us their work on their upcoming short film project (which I won’t mention, because I don’t know that it has been announced yet). Their dailies and screening room would fit in with just about any real animation studio, as the processes are all the same. The work was quite strong, and the program looks to be improving each year.

If you have seen an animated feature from the last few years, the odds are that a BYU grad has worked on it.
