Interview with The Animation Show

Here’s an interview I did a little while ago with Taylor Jessen for the Animation Show. It’s mostly about Learn Self Defense, for the upcoming DVD. We also talk a bit about the new Mystery Work In Progress. I ramble a bit, but that’s just how I am. Enjoy.

Please Vote for Make Mine Shoebox

Hiya, everyone! It’s been a looong time since I’ve updated this site. I’ve been busy doing the comic over at We The Robots. That takes up all my time lately, so the animation projects have suffered a great deal. I’ll be posting some more stuff here soon, but in the mean time I wanted to encourage anyone who’s interested to:

Go VOTE FOR MAKE MINE SHOEBOX at Channel Frederator. It’s up for best Flash animation. I don’t know what happens to the winners, but it would be kind of neato, so I appreciate any votes.

Thanks! I’ll post more updates on some other goings on soon.

Aaron Simpson Presentation at Flashforward Boston

Aaron Simpson of Cold Hard Flash did a presentation at Flash Forward Boston this year called “One Man Bands.”

Aaron presented demonstrations and a behind the scenes look at the work of five independent Flash Animators, and interviewed all of us about our work. The participants were the ultra-talented Anton Bogaty, Max Lang, Ian Culbard, Joel Trussell, and Ol’ Chris Harding.

Here is Chris Harding’s contribution to that little presentation, which Aaron has posted over at CHF.

Interview With Chris Harding in PRESENT Magazine

Lester S. — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 18:38:48 +0000

Chris Harding did a long-ish interview with a local Kansas City arts and entertainment publication called PRESENT Magazine.

It’s kind of long, because Chris Harding does not know how to be concise. It’s also much more serious and pretentious sounding than was intended, but the interviewer asked pretty good questions. So, go… read… skim… enjoy… Chris Harding’s very bad attempts at answering questions about independent animated shorts.

Learn Self Defense in Shorts! Volume 4 DVD Collection

Lester S. — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 18:26:55 +0000

Learn Self Defense is now available as part of the Shorts! Volume 4 DVD collection, which is published by the Colorado Film Foundation. It contains 3 hours of award winning independent shorts, both live-action and animation.

Each film is accompanied by 2 ridiculous, superfluous commentary tracks. Learn Self Defense has a story commentary about the ideas behind the film, and a technical commentary discussing how the film was physically made, removing all mystery and wonder from the process. Both also include introductions by Chris Harding’s mom, which are really the highlights of each track.

You can order the DVD straight from the Film Festival Collection website, or you can also order it at amazon.com.
