THE JOY OF ANIMATING

Awright, so things have taken a turn...

Tropfest is on hold. Now, as part of my Education studies, I am about to start work on a short documentary called THE JOY OF ANIMATION.

My fellow filmmakers (I'm working with 3 other QUT students) and I don't want it to be a "how-to-do-it" film or an industry overview... we just want to profile some talented and passionate animators talking about why they love what they do.

We'll be interviewing 4 professional animators and asking them to talk about their passion for the medium. And we're using a framing device to tie it all together... a sad, lonely animated boy named Naylor, who begins by asking the age old questions: "Where did I come from... and why am I here?"
