Monsters vs Alien

The latest Dreamworks animation! I CAN'T HARDLY WAIT!

It seemed to me that lately, Dreamworks have the upper hand in
entertainment as far as comedy against Pixar. Like Wall-E was a
more serious movie that Kung Fu Panda, and as far as I've noticed from
the trailers, Monsters vs. Alien seemed to be more comical than Pixar's UP.

Can't wait to see both though! Wouldn't want to miss Monsters vs Alien on Imax!



Until next time,

Finally Finished.

So we finally finished our film.

PreProduction 5 weeks

production and post-production 5 weeks

Stressed - ended several decades off my life.

Showing my animation to everyone and blowing them away - Priceless.

I'm so proud of myself and my team that I've picked and directed.
Doesn't matter how artistically skilled a director is, even
though it helps, but it mostly matter of how well he picks the people
and directs them.

Nathan Rinehart, my main man, sat next to me day and night
composting all of the big and small detail of the animation.

Even though it was extremely stressful and tiring, but the power of
working with a group of people who are extremely dedicated and passionate
as you are, are something very describable.

Right at the last minute of 5 weeks, we finished our film and I
ran up and down the hall like a little school girl, getting
as much instructors I see, which wasn't much because it was
Friday and everyone already left.

We got our animation director, Roby Gilbert and show it to him,
then he told us to get the Dean and other department directors,

They were very happy and sad to see the film.

Now, it's major catch up time on my endless tons of assignments and
projects that I put aside to finish this film.

Since I'm planning to enter this in some film festivals,
I cannot show you the animation. However, I think I can put up
a small sneak peak of the film, since the best part is at the end,
still keep the ending a secret

Until next time, Wilster OUT

Sneak Background Peak Update

Production should be on schedule if nothing else happens,
There was a setback, but we finally finished all of the
animation and now in post, I have an amazing team, and we
brought in another person to help out with colour work.

I'm currently on background painting. These are a sneak-peak
of some of the backgrounds I'm working on. As you can guess,
they style is simply and kind of wanted a children colouring-
book feel to it.









Until next time
