SIGGRAPH Volunteers?

Capilano's animation and visual effects programs have a booth at SIGGRAPH this year!  If there you would like to volunteer (you get an exhibition space pass) please let me know.  2 hours, 4 hours, daily....whatever works for you.  You just need to be at the booth and talk to people about your experience at Cap.  Please email me (Don) if you're interested.

Cheers!

Don

It's time to design the winning entry for Animation Magazine's PITCH PARTY!

The blog will be open to everyone for now so you can read the rules, take note of the deadline and see last year's blog (pitchparty2010.blogspot.com).

Take a look at past designs and winners.  Figure out what wins before you start your design:

1.  A great idea.  Think of your target audience.
2. Strong, appealing design (your area of specialization, for sure!) and good composition/colour design.
3. A catchy title/description (not too wordy).

This is what you need to send me before the deadline: 
a) An image, EXACTLY 2.25 inches wide by 4.875 inches high (If you're using TV Paint, the equivalent is 1350 pixels wide by 2925 pixels high).
b) Up to 30 words (part of the artwork) to pitch the idea or character
c) The title of your Pitch (optional on artwork)
d) Contact information (email address and maybe your blog address if you've got a killer blog that you want people to visit)

e) Email me your name, title of pitch, email address and phone number that I will forward with the artwork. 

This is a great opportunity.  Let me know if you're in or not!

Meeting Times with Don

CLICK HERE  for the schedule.  Find a vacant spot in the calendar and email with your choice.  I'll upload it to this schedule.  Please be on time at my office, 108.  If there's someone in there still, just knock and let me know you've arrived.

Thanks

PACIFIC CINÉMATHÈQUE'S CINEMA SUNDAY presents

Max & Dave Fleischer's MR. BUG GOES TO TOWN (1941)

The Pacific Cinémathèque Education Department presents a rare screening of Max and Dave Fleischer’s 1941 classic animated feature, MR. BUG GOES TO TOWN, on Sunday 16 January 2011 at 1:00 PM. This is a very special occasion to experience one of the classic animated films from the Golden Age of Hollywood animation with a restored 35mm print – direct from the vaults of Paramount Pictures – projected on a big screen, as this movie was meant to be seen! Vancouver film history teacher and film critic, Michael van den Bos, will be introducing this second and last animated feature by Max and Dave Fleischer (their first animated feature was 1939’s GULLIVER’S TRAVELS), famous for bringing the cartoons of Betty Boop, Popeye the Sailor and Superman to the silver screen in the 1930s and 1940s. This special screening of MR. BUG GOES TO TOWN is for the whole family, so bring your kids along and introduce them to the wonder of some of the finest hand-drawn animation ever created for the movies.

TICKET PRICES:

$8.00 – Adults

$5.00 – Children + Youths under 18

LOCATION:

Pacific Cinematheque is located at 1131 Howe Street (near the corner of Helmcken St.), Vancouver, BC / 604-688-FILM / www.cinematheque.bc.ca / Link to MR. BUG GOES TO TOWN: http://www.cinematheque.bc.ca/cinema-sunday/mr-bug-goes-to-town

All About Mr. Jones

As much as I like Charles M. "Chuck" Jones, he really did direct some of the oddest (and for that matter, most disturbing) cartoons in his lifetime.

Here are some examples:
