This has been an unusual winter for me.  Normally by this time I would have gone skiing several times already, but unfortunately I’ve only been able to go a couple of times.  I shouldn’t complain, one of the day’s that I did go was timed with one of the biggest storms to hit the Sierra’s in a while.  Something like 12 feet of snow fell over a 4 day period.  I went to Kirkwood on the last day of the storms to swim through chest deep snow.  It was truly bottomless.

Because of my schedule, I haven’t been submitting to as many festivals lately.  In fact, I’ve only sent to one in the last month or two.  And that was just earlier today that I put it together.  This one is going to Australia for Mudfest.  This time around I sent in both Till Death Do Us Part and my older short The Instant Animator Machine.  I’ve been wanting to submit this older film for a while but just haven’t gotten around to it.  I finally have.  It is almost completely opposite of TDDUP.  It is short, a comedy, and very simple CG.

Speaking of festivals, TDDUP just finished at the Pomona festival just outside Los Angeles and it won the “Best Animation” award.  Hearing about that was a nice start to my week.  I’ve also just been notified that TDDUP has been selected to play in Cleveland at their International Film Festival.

As usual, I’m working on various projects.  Mostly the same things I was working on in my last post.  Nothing really else to say.  So, we’ll just leave it at that.  Happy Winter!
