We had a great time yesterday filming another scene for our short film, ‘My Imaginary Friend’. Huge praise to Kayla for a long but very productive day.
There’s still a tremendous amount of work ahead of us, but it’s one more step in the right direction.

With production really starting to happen on our animated short ‘My Imaginary Friend’, one major consideration has been at what frame rate we will be animating it at.
Working out the balance between the physical workload and a pleasing motion of playback is a delicate choice, but this video I came across on YouTube really explains the subtleties well.

UPDATE: 13/8/15
Huge thank you to all that applied, but we have since filled the position.
‘My Imaginary Friend’ is an abstract adventure film. It follows Kayla, a young girl, on her quest to find her missing friend. What starts out as an apparent hide and seek adventure quickly sees Kayla journey through numerous environments, eventually leading her to a conclusion of unexpected results.
We are looking to cast a ‘mother’ role for the project.
Please follow the StarNow link below for more details on the project.

Whilst researching for a short film we’re working on, I came across this very interesting website that is a great source of information on, but not limited to, Japanese animation and and the behind-the-scenes art books that often accompany them.
They have a large assortment of reviews and previews of these books that can be very helpful when looking for inspiration for your own project.
