I suchlike the pointed but blunt vivid idea that Stéphanie Cabdevila employs in this video for Mary’s Dreaming. She produced it at Paris-based Metronomic. If it’s not already acquire from this recording and the proximity tender of her website, Cabdevila’s production has a playfully twisted visible sensibility. It’s also on demo in this video for Claire Diterzi’s “La Vieille Chanteuse”.

As they amount their production capacities, author TV activeness creation gift movement to cheap countries same Brazil which hardly had an beingness manufacture a period ago. Which begs the converse, if respectable being can be produced anywhere in the mankind at low value, refer the bar on their utilize or gift they but utter in the towel? It’ll be stimulating to see what happens.

Independent animator and producer Wendy Johnson Carmical has started a production blog dedicated to veteran animator Ken Mundie and his new traditionally animated film (still under production) called The Match.

Mundie, who is now in his eighties, directed the first Fat Albert special, created the titles for The Wild Wild West and produced a controversial Warner Bros. animated short, The Door (1967). Carmical says, “This endeavor to help Ken get his film made is inspired by a love of animation, respect for the pioneers, and regard for a really unique interesting artist.” The Match is “an animated film about an epic tennis match that represents the battle of brute force against the intellect. It will be animated entirely by Ken Mundie. We are hoping to find people interested in painting the finished animation and/or find funding.”

Below is a work-in-progress reel of the first act.
