We’ve added a film profile and a feature article to AnimWatch.com.
The profile talks a little bit about how the film was made, and the feature article is an in-depth interview with Lucas Martell, the director of the film, in which he talks about how the film came to be in the first place.

Keith Lango’s “Secret Joys of Myopia” was one of the first films we profiled here at AnimWatch. Not long afterward, Keith suffered a perfect storm of bad luck, lost the film’s data and backups all at the same time, and was forced to stop working on it.
It’s been years, but I’m pleased to announce that Keith has once again started up production on the film. He’s taking the stylization in his film to a sketchy extreme. He’s got a post at his BLOG, and a little test animation.
I wish luck to Keith, and perhaps it’ll be time to get a profile for the film back up at AnimWatch.

I took a break from my Crunch schedule at work to put out Podcast #7, by popular demand. So many people had been asking whether I was ever going to do another one, that I figured I’d better get on with it.
FEATURE: Interview with Lucas Martell about his upcoming film, Pigeon Impossible.
FEATURE: Interview with Josh Burton about his film The Potter.

Could you use a solid, longer clip of character animation in your portfolio? Of course you could. As fun as these little 10-second talking head animations are, they don’t prove much of your ability to handle a scene. If you want to show what you’re made of, you need a longer scene.
But maybe you’re having trouble coming up with an idea. Or maybe you don’t have any sound.
Fear not. We’re happy to introduce the AnimClips Portfolio Masters Series. We are releasing longer clips of sound you can use for your portfolio.
Like the rest of the AnimClips audio, they were created here in the studios at AnimWatch, and are free for you to use in your portfolio and online. Edit them as you need, and use them freely. All we ask is proper credit.

Lucas Martell’s Pigeon Impossible is exactly the kind of film that made me start AnimWatch. Here is a beautiful film under construction, and it is so fun to watch it develop. Every screen capture, every test animation, every glimpse behind the curtain is one more jolt of excitement.
Lucas has been keeping us all up on his progress in the AnimWatch Forum. As he rounds the corner on the last bits of production, we felt the time was right to put up this profile. So, for those of you looking for just a bit more info on Lucas and his film, HERE it is.
