Art Fiesta!
ANIMATION BLOCK PARTY:
I attended the first night of this great film festival on Friday in Williamsburg. Last year I remember it as being very funny, crazy, and gross and I hoped for more of the same. My one true trooper friend Kelly (amazing artist) was there with me. We both decided that "Ergo" was the best film of the night. I then suffered through a crowd to get a terrible beer, and trekked to Flushing Ave to try to go to Rudebegah, but the cops shut it down just as I got there.
Later on Sunday night, I went to see another set of animations, and ran into David Levy. He taught one of my animation classes. There was some awkward waving, either he didn't recognize me or that's just how we wave. It's ok. I had the misfortune of sitting next to some rotund guy on a Blackberry who thought it would be OK to make comments after each film to no one in particular; I decided I didn't have enough energy to fight him. Anyway, this night's best-in-show was Dan Hertzfeldt's "I'm So Proud of You." Usually a creator of violent humor, this time he pulled out a poignant movie about family. The absolut best part of it was the leaf-blowing scene, which reminded me of Jacque Tati.

Poor Kupono was voted off, and Jason too. :-(

Irish Rasta Jazz Day
MOVIES:
The Secret of Kells is breathtaking. Every shot (at least on the website) seems to have centuries of composition carefully drafted into it, and every line seems to be sinuous and continuous across forms. I think it is a period piece animation that will prove to be better animated than Azur et Asmar (beautiful but stiff) and I will have to add another dvd to my collection.
MUSIC:
This is a music video created by my friends Kelly and Mike at KNEEON, which is their cool little production company. The idea was to get a bunch of animators to contribute, so I made the segment with crayon, and a flying square, geometric patterns and eye about 45 seconds in.

SYTYCD 104
Oh boy this week's show was much more fun than last week! Everything from sexy Broadway, to alien sex, to chained up girls, to classical pas de deux!!! I had to sketch the pop jazz alien dance (the story is the invading alien woman has to find the last man on earth) for fun, but the pas de deux gets an honorable mention since I'm going to be supering in Romeo & Juliet at Lincoln Center next week.

Dance Reanimation & SYTYCD 103
Nijinsky was one of the greatest ballet dancers of all times, but unfortunately he danced before the rise of film and went crazy at 29. So all we have are photographs of his famous work "Afternoon of a Faun." This French artiste named Comte made a few 30 sec movies about Nijinsky, animating thru the computer several old photos into an 'old film.' Remarkable in its idea, but it could really benefit by some basic animation principles.
And of course my pick of the week: Randi & Evan dance contemporary to "Koop Island Blues" choreographed by the overly-talented Mia Michaels.

This is not the couple I voted for, but they make for the more interesting sketch. I am a fan of Kupono and the Ballerina

SYTYCD Fan Art! I'm trying to practice my tablet drawing skills
These youtube videos tend to be short lived, but here is it anyway. I have been a little busy with Borzoi-walking (more on that later) so I haven't had time to update my many ideas OR watch my favorite show: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. So enjoy this great Jazz number choreographed by Wade Robson about 2 crash dummies in love, danced by Kupono (the Hawaiin) and some girl. And music by GOLDFRAPP "felt mountain"
