Base14

This Saturday is SCADanimate here in Savannah, and that means the new official premiere of “The Girl and the Fox”! I couldn’t be sure until I had seen a final programming list, but now that  I got my hands on a flyer for the event, we know “The Girl and the Fox” will be shown. So come one, come all. The version being shown has an all-new musical score by Azniv Korkejian and several visual corrections and clean-ups. Here’s the details:

When: Saturday, September 25th, 7:30pm
Where: Trustees Theater, 216 E. Broughton St. Savannah, GA
Why: Because animation is awesome.

My work in apparel design has been culminating toward one huge final project; the senior collection. We practically just started school and yet the madness has already begun. All of my designs are planned and nearly all of the fabrics have been sourced. All that remains for the next seven months is to construct the garments. But here for your Base14 enjoyment is a sneaky little peak at some of my sketches. Tantalized yet?

You didn’t think “Duck Heart Teslacoil” was done yet, did you? Well, not quite. The plucky little film was just featured in this month’s issue of Animation Magazine, as the second place winner of the magazine’s annual Student Reel Awards!

The write-up uses some highly laudatory language that left Alysha and myself more than flattered. “It takes a lot of finesse and graphical know-how to really work Flash/After Effects.” Animag writes, “The flat, impactful characters are imbued with a kitchy liveliness all their own, and the humor is spot-on. Duck is the ultimate evolution of the animated webisode and we truly hope to see more of these adorable, violent critters.”

Well, thank you, Animation Magazine! We appreciate both the kind words and the fabulous prize pack you sent us. Hopefully we’ll find ourselves gracing your pages again, someday.

And as for the suggestion about seeing more of the characters from “Duck Heart Teslacoil,” what do our loyal readers think? Would you like to see more of Duck and Monster, or something totally new?

I am proud to announce that I now have my own website! Tyler was awesome enough to get me the domain name and to lay down the html structure. I like to think I’ve got enough know-how to keep it updated, but you know how we designers are. I recommend you take a stroll over to it and check out my online portfolio. I will be updating it as I finish garments from my current collection. Enjoy!
