The Happy Pumpkin claims more victims…

March 24th, 2008

I guess it’s a good thing that The Happy Pumpkin is still getting views?

These kids didn’t do as well with the video as this other kid did.

In case you missed it, here is the original video:

At first I felt a bit bad about the videos of little kids getting scared. It’s not cool to be responsible for kids’ nightmares, but then I remembered the winged monkeys from The Wizard of Oz, and how bad they scared me as a kid. I then imagined the kids I was scaring were maybe the distant relatives of the guys in those monkey suits, and in some weird way I was getting them back through the terror of their relatives. I don’t feel so bad about it now.

ASIFA article: The Independent Animator and the Internet

March 17th, 2008

I’ve temporarily traded Maya for Microsoft Office while I write an article for the upcoming ASIFA Magazine. The topic of the article is the independent animator and how they can use the internet to their advantage. I’ll be covering everything from self promotion to film distribution. The magazine is only available to ASIFA members, so if you’re not a member, you’re out of luck.

In the meantime, get a website, put your films on YouTube, and submit your stuff to Channel Frederator!
