Speaking of Animation http://www.speakingofanimation.com Tue, 26 Mar 2013 18:07:44 +0000 en hourly 1 http://speakingofanimation.com/feed/podcast/ Speaking of Animation was created by four professional animators currently working in the animation industry. Having been inspired by Animation related podcasting ourselves, we sought out a chance to help give back to the same community that informs, inspires, and entertains us. Come along with us as we interview our friends and fellow artists about their craft and thoughts on animation.

Character Animation Reel – Rise of the Guardians from Jacob Gardner on Vimeo.

With the release of Rise of the Guardians on DVD/Blu-Ray, we wanted to share some of the work of our fellow SoA-er Jacob Gardner. He recently cut together a reel of his favorite work from the film for everyone’s viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Note: Jacob cut it together in 720p so watch it in HD for the full experience. :)

If you’re feeling bummed you missed out on our Guardians giveaway game, there’s even more awesome guardians stuff to be won! Not from us, though, from the amazing tumblr fans!!!

click here to go to the tumblr giveaway site

In support of the film, tumblr fans have created their own worldwide giveaway!

William Joyce is even contributing prizes, offering copies of his character books and a signed sketch by the man himself.

It’s really awesome to see this kind of enthusiasm from fans. I’ve never worked on any other project that had such devoted fans wanting to help boost the box-office. Not to mention so devoted that they just can’t seem to stop producing their own fan art of our characters! How awesome!!!!
