Kaulah is screening at the Melbourne International Animation Festival! I only found out last week (as a result of a bad email server) so it was a very nice surprise to find out that not only was my film was being screened but it had made it to the Australian Panorama!

I have been attending the festival for the past 4 days and it is hard not being inspired by such films at Madam Tutli Putli.

Kaulah has been accepted into the Shoot Me Film Festival in Netherland.

Kaulah has been accepted into Bimini International Festival of Animation Films in the international category!

For the past 2 weeks I have been working as a Flash Designer/Developer at Transmission Games, never thought that Flash could be used in such ways. I can’t say much but it is very interesting how their system works and lots of energy at this company. Looking forward to see how the project goes.

The pay is good to after a lean year at uni last year, I bought myself a new book on Flash today and looking to start putting bits and pieces on the blog soon, it has been getting a bit dusty here.

I haven’t touched the Samtiq since I finished animating my short film, but recently I got asked for some shots of the back of the Samtiq so they could see how it’s put together. I must admit the front looks a lot better than the back but here are some shot anyway:

Some still images from the film:

Here are more shots of my setup:

In order to finish the Paint on Glass component of my film I converted my shed into a dark room and using a makeshift animation stand I have done six and a half minutes of Paint on Glass animation. Here is a shot of the shed, more to come soon.

Here are some shots of some pottery pieces that I have done in the past couple of weeks. The cup was glazed by my partner Heike.

My film Kaulah has won the Best Use of Sound Award at the RMIT AIM 2007 Graduate Screenings. Credit goes to Markus Kellow for his skills in both music composition and sound effects creation.

I would also like to thank Soundcorp and in particular Tristan Miller for supporting AIM by offering this award and also the staff at AIM for organizing it all.
