Rainy Saturday
I found it a bit hard to shift gears today. I had planned my day fully expecting to spend most of it moving boxes of rare animation artwork. Then I found myself with a morning off because, as Antran so rightly said, it is not a good idea to move artwork in the rain.
That meant I had the time to start in on my mid-term grading but I found it hard to dig into that stack of 40 student scripts looming over me. They are just 2-minute rough student animation scripts but still somehow I found it easier to spend my time in some other pursuit knowing that I would have to pay the price later.
Enough on my whining, on to the upcoming events. This Thursday is the ASIFA-East reel over at DreamWorks.
I have seen a lot of these shorts before from running the Annie short nominating committee and was really impressed by most of them. Some I am completely in love with. One or two where not really my cup of tea but might be yours. Everybody`s tastes are different.
Still, let me give you 2 great reasons why this reel is a must see. Mark Kausler and Bill Plympton. I don`t think I have to say much more.
