Hell, why not?
The "Make Mine Shoebox," a video commissioned by a very large greeting card corporation, has been posted in its entirety in the Animation Section.
Go to the Make Mine Shoebox page to see the entire 5-minute short online in glorious, crappy, web-compressed Quicktime.
We are proud to announce the premiere of Chris Harding's new short, "Learn Self Defense" at the South by Southwest Film Festival in March.
It's a wonderful festival of film, music, and interactive arts. It runs from March 11-19 in Austin Texas.
More details about screening times and locations will be posted as they become available. Hopefully this is just the beginning of the festival tour, so stay tuned. We may be screening in a theatre near you this year.
Over the Summer and Fall, Chris Harding had a chance to work– sort of in an art director capacity– with the very talented Bunko Studios in New York on a series of eight very short animations, comissioned by a very large greeting card corporation.
The animations have been completed, sound added, etc. They came out beautiful. Bunko is outstanding, and a pleasure to work with. Call them if you ever need animation. They will blow your ass away.

The Robot Family Short "The Slick Salesman" has made the top ten in the Nicktoons Film Festival competition. What this means is… well, who knows. But it's an honor to be in the top ten amongst some great films.
Many thanks to Nicktoons and Frederator for holding the contest, and giving independent animators a little peek into television.
By the way, there was a really good little film in the early part of the series called "Attack of the Note Sheep." Very simple and clever. Worth checking out…
