CARTOON CLUB 2011 - SIGNOR ROSSI AWARD- The Jam Thief selected!

Great News: The Jam Thief was part of the 15th 'Signor Rossi' Awards organised by the Cartoon Club 2011 animation Festival in Rimini. It was in July and for a reason or other I didn't received an e-mail about that. So I was really surprised to be given the festival catalog this morning.

Thus everyone don't forget to update your CV!

Here is a vimeo link about the CGI elements within the Jam Thief. The shot and below some explanations about the particular process used in order to blend the CGI within a 2D hand drawn environment: from concept art, textures, modelling and rigging strategies and after-effect post composition...

The Jam Thief poster

I want to congratulate all the people who have made this film possible (I really mean it, it don't rehearse for the oscar ceremony). So I say THANK YOU EVERYBODY!

Here is the poster visual by the way.

See you at the Degree Show.

New animatic

Yes I knew I said not anymore animatic till the deadline but I've just done this one for Alex so he could work on the soundtrack and I am really happy the result. A last effort and it will be great.

So Cheers Up Everybody!

Background Arts

Hello everybody!

We are now on the finish line and I don't think I will post another update of the animatic before the movie being finished. However I will post some bits from time to time: linetests and others.

Here is a kind of plan for the remaining weeks: I will finish my share of animation and inbetweens for the end of march and perhaps a few days in April ( 2 or 3 as a maximum). I hope all the other inbetweeners could do the same. I am doing one exception about the last scene with the siblings: this one should be completed for the end of the first week of April or midweek of the second week of April. It will be the last scene to be colored. For Alexander: I hope I will be able to send you a colored version of the last sequence before the end of this month so you could start working on the soundtrack.

Now here are some background I just completed (all the backgrounds will be finished at the end of this week). I spent a lot of evenings and weekends on those but it was worth the effort.

Cheers and carry on the good work.

Theresia
