There are still festivals which insist on not-on-the-internet, but I've seen that not often lately.

You may find my film submission primer helpful: http://www.tvpaint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10285

Thanks Slowtiger! :)
I've been using withoutabox so far and I was expecting to see ' not on the internet' but it seems most you have to post a submission on a link anyway.
I think it's better that way, the festivals are just another portal really ( where you can rub shoulders with people in the flesh ) aren't they? Just another way to catch the flu really. :wink:

I had already commented in that other thread but have to comment here too.

Chucky, your film is beautifully made and very entertaining. Good luck with the festival circuit.

SlowTiger, thanks for posting the link to your Film Festival primer. Lots of good practical info there. I've clipped the text for future reference. :)

Really? I did that didn't I ... ouch.. I'd say it was a typo but I probably do it al the time.This is not the kind of thing I want to know about myself (especially as I'm watching that David Brent movie right now) . Mental :mrgreen:

It's one of the best things I've seen done in Moho, it's one of the best things I've seen lately done in anything, it's beautiful.

Great job, Chucky. Loved the textures and parallax panning up the ship.

:oops: I never really read credits, so I'd never seen it if it weren't for your comment, Paul. Very honored to be listed aside Kelley and Clifton.

Absolutely top notch, and very fun to watch.

The egg almost coming out had me cracking up. Great job

Thanks Iwaxana and little Yamori, I wondered if anyone would laugh at the egg.
I thought it was funny when it first popped into my head, but after animating and editing, it gets harder to see it in the same way as when it first comes to mind.
I started to wonder if it was even gross.
A bit like the regurgitation, do people just see that and think ... meh... or even less reaction?
With such a sanitised style, maybe I took to many sharp edges off the piece as a whole and lost what little bite it had?
Maybe the music telegraphs the action too much?
So it's great to hear feedback that confirms some of my intentions and that anybody even saw it. :lol:

Well's finished at least, time for something new, perhaps something bolder this time.
Did I play it too safe?
