Check out this film collaboration between James Jarvis and Richard Kenworthy... made for Nike.
I was working out of Studio 300 yesterday and Riccardo popped this up in full screen on the TV. I can't decide whether the video or the musical accompaniment (which kicks in at 1:05) are more upbeat. This is pretty amazing stuff... 3D animation rendered to look hand drawn. That's been done before, but to lesser impact. The film is called Onwards. We came across it at Drawn, a blog higlighting illustration and cartooning. The blog is a wonder-site on its own and you may find yourself exploring it for hours. Be sure to also check out Creative Reviews, um, review for more insight into the project.
As for me, it's been a quiet week after days and days of shooting in August. For a more visual representation of some of my favorite moments from last month, check out some of the shots I took at Carnivale Lune Bleue with the Unsettlers in Ottawa last week. The CLB is a 30's period carnival featuring real (well, actors portraying REAL) carnies, freak shows and snakes.
I hate snakes, Jacques! No, I love 'em.
