Here’s a great stop-motion animated video by Rob Shaw at Bent Image Lab. It for the song “Dirty Laundry” by Bitter Sweet and showcased on Zune Arts which is a cool site featuring talented artist and musicians.

The nominees for the 2nd annual Channel Frederator Awards. The Freddie awards user submitted cartoons that have appeared on Channel Frederator through out the past year. Lots of great nominees this year including the classic Weird Al, ‘Trapped in the Drive-Thru’ video that I posted a while back. And another one called ‘Make Mine Shoebox’  from one of my favorite artists, Chris Harding of We the Robots fame (best comic on the web). So head on over and cast your vote.

The Drinking and Drawing Boston video is complete. I was able to get a couple cracks at the light table night, including the first 8 frames of the video, so don’t blink. It was fun event and I’m looking forward to the next one.

I had a chance to participate in the ‘Drinking and Drawing’ event on Monday night at Paddy O’s in Boston. It’s an event dreamed up by Dan Meth and Frederator and first kicked off in NY before hosting this one in beantown. That’s me working away with a pint of Guinness in by belly. It’s a fun event that brings animators together to collaborate to create a hand drawn animated film in one evening at a bar. Each artist has 10 minutes to draw 8 frames of animation. When the time is up the next person picks up where they left off. It’s not pictured there but there are six artists working together at one time on their own light boxes. The drawings are being digitized right now and will be up soon, I’ll be sure to post it here. There are some phots up on Flickr and boston.com snapped some too. The story should be printed in the globe next week.
