Patrick rides the 'Tubes



Just got an email from Patrick Jenkins, former TAIS head-honcho and all-round animated individual. He's got some choice cuts from some of his films up on his newly minted YouTube page, including the above clip from his award-winning film "Labyrinth". Go check 'em out. More on the ChickenJam next week! Oh, and Anonymous, if you want me to post yer chicken film, I'm gonna need to know who y'are! Just sayin' is all. More later.

**UPDATE**-man, gotta learn to read the WHOLE email. Seems there's a couple of interviews with Patrick up online...he's talkin' bout production of his films 'Labyrinth' and 'The Skateboarder'. Go. Watch. Learn. More to come!

Into the Labyrinth...plus, nooze!




Some big beautiful stills from Patrick Jenkin's noir homage "Labyrinth", which took 1st place in it's category at KAFI this year. Animated by paint on plexiglass under the camera, Patrick debuted it last summer, and it's been nothin' but kudos since. Nice job! Wanna see it? Come to the TAIS Showcase, cuz it's on the program.

Also on the program is a slew of some of the best animated shorts the board has seen in a dog's age...seriously, it took fer freakin' ever to create a program this year (nice works, Madi and Tara) and to top it all off, we also have 30+ chicken films to look forward to as part of the ChickenJam! I'll be announcing our latest sponsor tomorrow. Meanwhile, take a gander at these stills, and drop by Pat's website. More to come!

New Docs by Patrick Jenkins!



Just got the word from TAIS homie Patrick Jenkins, 'bout some stuff he's been workin' on!

I have two new documentaries that are going to be shown on BRAVO! Television (Canada only). Here are the air dates:

- Death is in trouble Now: The Sculptures of Mark Adair - premieres Sunday OCT 7 at 8pm on BRAVO! television
- Of Lines and Men: The Animation of Jonathan Amitay - premieres Sunday OCT 14 at 8pm BRAVO! television

As well I'm going to be interviewed about these two documentaries on the CKLN Radio (88.1 FM) "Framelines" with Barbara Goslawski this Friday, Oct. 5, 2007 at 2 p.m.

-----------------------------------

(If you don't have BRAVO! (I don't), don't despair, we will be screening the two documentaries on the evening of Saturday, Dec. 8 at a Toronto Animated Image Society event at the National Film Board's John Spotton Theatre in Toronto.)


I'll have more on that Dec. 8th screening closer to the day. Cheers!
