The Animation Show of Shows

Sorry for not posting for awhile, but I wanted to share that we had the privilege of seeing the Animation Show of Shows last night. Ron Diamond, an executive at ACME Filmworks and the man who started AWN was here to present it last night. Apparently he has been doing this for ten years now and it has been a big success. He felt that many animators working within the industry never got to see any of the outside shorts that were being produced and displayed in competitions worldwide. So, each year he puts together a compilation of the best animated shorts within the past 1-2 years. He said that he even turns down shorts from studios like Pixar and Disney... Anyway, it was a great show with many interesting works. Here are the films that were shown last night.


If you get a chance look some up (probably on youtube) and see for yourself. I feel as an animator it's always good to know about current animations that are successfully created.
[ Also, they were selling DVDs and box sets from previous years which I think you can order online so if you're interested I'm sure you can buy some of these animations for your own library collection ]
