British Animation Awards

This week were the British Animation Awards, which celebrate the best films and animation in the UK. While Shawn the Sheep took best long form (to no big surprise) the other films all seem really interesting.

The biggest headliner is that Martin Freeman won best voice acting for his performance in BBC One's The Stickman. It is actually a rather remarkable little short, but isn't currently available to stream in the US. Check out the trailer below:

Get some awards!

Hi there!

Now that we've gotten to the point where we are able to produce some pretty awesome animation work, I did some research on organizations and places where we can showcase our work. Here are some cool places were you can submit your student work.

The College Television Awards:

This NYC festival showcases work done by students via computer animation. The festival and awards are $5 for current college students.  Take a look below! 

                                      

I will continue to update this post as I come across more opportunities for college students to showcase their work!

Until next time!

Vimeo Awards

I found this video from the 2010 Vimeo Awards. I didn't even know there was an awards show for online video, but apparently there is.

This is the award for the Motion Graphics category, and it's interesting because even in the short clips they show you seen how varied Motion Graphics is. None of the videos are alike at all. The presenter, a successful designer, has some notable things to say about doing this kind of work.

Here's the video.

Another part that was really surprised me was that the person who accepted the award mentioned that in Turkey where he's from, they banned both YouTube and Vimeo. I can't even imagine that, especially if I was a Graphic Artist. The winning video is called Triangle, and here's the the full version.

It's pretty cool and I recommend taking a look at it.
