Ed Skudder is a sophomore at the University of Southern California studying film. He’s been drawing since childhood and took up animation in middle school, having been a long-time fan of cartoons. “Freelance animation is paying the bills these days and when I’m not making movies I’m trying to play the guitar.”
I first saw this short featured on Cold Hard Flash, and started cracking up as soon as I heard one of the characters say, “He put herbivore on his resume, Bob, what was I supposed to think?”. I was so impressed, I tracked down Ed on Newgrounds. Check out another one of his music videos for Ben Folds Five.
Ed, I continue to be impressed with your filmmaking [Read more…]

Says filmmaker Lindsay Kovnat, “The song is an abstract narrative. A girl and guy are in love. The guy happens to be a really uncivilized woodland guy. The girl is a sophisticated lady and her father is a very rich egg-man who resides in a Barbie Dream House.

Says filmmaker Parrish Ley, “Hi! How are you? That’s great. I’m Parrish. It’s really nice to meet you. Growing up, I was what people would call, ‘That art nerd’. But, it was cool because I was. I worked at the local comic store and spent my free time watching cartoons, playing video games, and endlessly sketching on any scrap piece of paper that happened to be within my pouncing-distance. I’ve always loved the art of animation and could never picture doing anything else. I studied animation at Sheridan College where I produced my short, Eureka!. I hope you enjoyed my film.”
This film actually reminds me of this story I just read today in the New York Times.
