APOLLO
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606170/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2
More than 40 years after the first step on the moon and almost 50 years after the first manned space flight – finally an answer to the question why boys love rockets. The Idea for ‘APOLLO’ was inspired by Felix Gonnerts childhood. “I always liked miniature models, rockets, space images and astronauts. Flipping through my sketchbook, I found this cheeky boy character. This compelled me to tell a short story about escaping from an adult-dominated world, seen through the eyes of an imaginative child and the ensuing conflicts”.

A CLIENTS GUIDE TO MAKING AN ANIMATIC
http://www.three-blind-mice.co.uk/
A light-hearted guide to the process of running a professional studio and attempting to earn a living. George Coffey and Sam Burton, Head Animator at Three Blind Mice, introduce us to the team, then seize the paper aeroplane with a script prior to meeting the agency face to face, reach agreement, scamps, trace, line, colour …. watch it on the telly. Simon Gregor’s voice-over all makes it all seem pretty simple, and he’s got a pleasant, accessible voice. It may well be basic for those in the business but many readers of the blog are amateurs, students, me! There’s a clear animated style that renders the glass a little less opaque. Two and a half blind mice now.
