If you want to see DAFFY DUCK FOR PRESIDENT, the new four-minute cartoon based on a 1997 Chuck Jones book, you could go out and blow a lot of money on the LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION VOLUME TWO set. OK, you’re getting that set anyhow, and should, but if you haven’t gotten around to it yet (or, like me, are waiting for an Amazon shipment), you can still see the new Daffy cartoon.

My interest in animation and my day job as editor of PC WORLD and DIGITAL WORLD usually don’t intersect much. Here’s a nifty exception: Our Web site has a short but nice story by my colleague Narasu Rebbapragada on Rick Sayre, Pixar’s Supervising Technical Director. He talks a bit about the technology behind THE INCREDIBLES–and the technology in his own life, which is why we’re running the article. No Comments » posted in Old Brew

One of the most exciting developments in the on-line animation world as of late is the emergence of animation artist blogs. These have been popping up left and right, and I have a feeling there’s still many more of them to come. No doubt plenty of artists already have websites where they post their artwork and resumes, but these blogs are an entirely different animal. They are current and alive, not a static gallery of images, but a powerful communication medium – forums for sharing ideas and techniques, inspiring artwork, gripes and opinions, and educating one another about the art and business of cartoons. True to the personal nature of blogs, each one focuses on different aspects of the art, reflecting the tastes of the individuals running them, but what they all share in common is that they offer an utterly unique perspective on animation that can’t be found anywhere else. With animation so incompetently represented in the mainstream media (the most recent example, this article), blogs have the added benefit of allowing artists to directly communicate with and educate the public about cartoons, rather than relying on filtered and ineffective third-party reportage. Here are some of the newest arrivals on the scene: The Ward-O-Matic by director/designer Ward Jenkins (of Primal Screen in Atlanta), Punch Pants by the Ghostbot director/designer collective comprised of Roque Ballesteros, Alan Lau and Brad Rau, and Seward Street and Persistence of Vision by DreamWorks animators Jim Hull and Ethan Hurd.

One is one of my least favorite world figures; the other is my favorite cartoon voice actor. It’s probably a sign I’m a nut, but as I was looking at the photo with an MSNBC report on Arafat’s failing health, my first response was, “Hey, he looks like Mel Blanc!” But you be the judge…  No Comments » posted in Old Brew, Mel Blanc
