Idiots and Angels
2Bill Plympton stopped by the studio the other day to share some of his latest work. It’s always great fun when Bill stops by, his work is so fun and his stories about working as an independent animator are always brutally honest. Afterwards we got to have some lunch with Bill and talk about his career and how he works. And yes we are talking to him about doing a podcast with us…can’t wait! So if you haven’t seen any of his work, or are a big fan, he has a new film out called Idiots and Angels. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to see it when it was in L.A., but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out. Here is a link to the Idiots and Angels website so you can find out if and when it’s playing in a theater near you!

In animation, reference is very important because you have to know your subject before you can animate it. Makes sense. Sometimes searching for reference can be a difficult task. Thankfully a new Vimeo group, at least new to us, is posting a bunch of animation reference videos for us all to check out. There seem to be a lot of high quality clips both in real-time and slow-motion. Some of the horse trots are worth a visit alone.
