The great cast of "Meanwhile, at the Abandoned Factory..." catching up. It was a pleasure to work with you all.
Holly Myers: Recorded phone voice... "If your emergency concerns a giant monster attacking your city, please press one..."
Andy Seymour : Blindman the Superhero... " I lost my sight in a freak accident with a radioactive octopus..."
PJ Oaten: Joey and Regina, experts on the "Superhero Hotline"... " There's a giant lizard attacking Tokyo as we speak... and you know what a pain in the ass those giant lizards can be..."
Jo Stone: Lois Cul de Sac, Reporter for "The Daily Probe." ..."I'm not 'Orean!"
I was a bit limited in picking a quote from Jo's performance as anyone who has seen the film will know! 🙂
A lot of fun recording these. The dialogue is always recorded first as it lets me know what shape the lips need to be in order to keep the dialogue in sync. An excellent voice performance can help dictate much of the action. An actor's emphasis on certain lines of dialogue also informs the animator of body language and spatial positioning, so you can see how much we rely on these guys to help craft a total performance. It's a real skill.

On Saturday night,I attended the awards ceremony for the Adelaide chapter of the 48 Hour Film Project. Also present was Anifex stalwart JoAnne Bouzianis - Sellick. We were there in our official capacity as judges.
It was a great night and our sincere congratulations go out to, not only the winners and finalists, but to everyone who managed to put a film together in such a short amount of time and then get it into the project at all! Well done all round!
Ernie Dingo was the MC and the Key Note Speaker was ex South Australian premiere Mike Rann, who has a special love of film and South Australian films in particular.
Here are a few photos that JoAnne took on the night of us and a wide shot showing Ernie giving the winners a pep talk before the official photograph.
Also, many thanks to Anita Baltutis for including us in the process and for producing the Adelaide event.

So, it's done and dusted for another year and once agin, congratulations to those teams who picked up an award, who were finalists and those who participated. Well done to all concerned and we hope to see you next yearwith some new challenges and some new excellent ideas!

Back shooting our short film "Charlie" again... but first, there's a little bit of housekeeping to do.
I'm currently melting skin tone modelling clay so that I can pour the molten liquid into the green mould which has a series of mouth shapes. The mould and mouths were created by SA sculptor Durand Greig.
Replacing the mouth shapes every so often is essential, because they can get really dirty through constant handling, so they need to be refreshed.

Getting close to finishing the first set of logging for our next film "Charlie." Each page has four seconds of dialogue on it and I am up to page 273.
Therefore, I am well over half way through. For those of you keeping track, that's 1,092 seconds so far....

Just back from a trip to Canada where I went to see the Royal Tyrell Dinosaur Museum in Alberta. I did some other things... but my main reason was to see that Museum... and it was wonderful.

Anyhow, I am back again now and after a short recovery period, I am back animating "Charlie" again. This is the second day of shooting in this present session but I have had to stop due to a problem with the puppet. It's not bad... more annoying than anything else (maybe it's the puppet's way of telling me not to leave it for a long period again!) so I am waiting, literally for some paint to dry before I can continue. I thought therefore, that this might be a good time to post something while I am waiting.

Richard was the feature of a local magazine and highlighted his importance in the SA film industry. I have included a few shots from the article... not only was he in the magazine, but he also made the front cover!
