Fear Not Films & Take Too Long
I’ve been working on a great independent project by a California based digital arts collective called Fear Not Films. The project, Take Too Long, is a 3D animated short film that deals with the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. Fear Not Films is founded by Kwesi Davis, who also works for DreamWorks Animation SKG as a Production Engineer/Senior Level TD. It’s also interesting to note that I was contacted by Kwesi because he noticed the banner ad for my blog!

The great news is that Take Too Long recently won the Seahorse Award for Best Short Screenplay at the 2007 Moondance International Film Festival! Congrats to Kwesi and the rest of the team, as there’s a lot of remarkable talent working on the project. The crew consists of various artists and animators who are all working remotely on the production, including animator Karol David who is from New Orleans. I’m sure that there’ll be even more news to post about the short film once it’s released.

And take a look at the t-shirt the crew gets for working on the project. Hooray for free stuff!

Congratulations Sharvonique! It sounds like you got to work on a pretty cool project! It’s very cool to hear about artists working on a project together even though they are thousands of miles apart. Ain’t technology grand!
And free stuff to boot! Everybody loves free stuff! ;b

Hey, congrats! A 3D short, cool! I’ve been wondering what you were doing during the last months and weeks. Hope there will be a chance to see the result sometime.
I’ll very likely start a two month animation job at a Cologne-based studio this Monday. With luck there’ll be stuff to do after that so I can stay on a little longer. That would be grand because I love Cologne and some of my former aninmation classmates work there at the moment as well.

Thanks for the comments and support! Yes, technology is grand and I’d be lost without it!
And congrats with your new job, Jab! Are you allowed to mention what you’re working on and what you’ll be doing?

They are producing very limited, hand-drawn animation for some children’s program. I’ll have to animate, clean-up and composite twenty-two scenes in all. This is the studio: http://www.jep-animation.de/

That’s quite a handful, but the projects look to be a lot of fun.
