It's amazing how many animation software programs are around nowadays, lots of them are focussed at an introductory level and will allow more people to explore and experiment with animation. Take a look at Animationish, the latest product from Toon Boom.
Last night there was a packed out screening for the cast and crew screenings of two new short films, there was not a single empty seat in the cinema.
'Dogs Run Loose Around Here' from Director Michael Hoath and Producer Tenille Kennedy is a tight, short film that is comprised of just one single shot. With great performances from Rosemary McKenna, Heath Bergensen, Steve McCall and Lucciano Vecchio, the film carefully balances both humour and drama.
The film was funded through the Institute's 'One Off Member's Production Fund' (OOMPF). The next round for this scheme is in September, so if you've got an idea for a great short film there's lots of time to get your application ready. Find out more.
The second film 'The Planet Lonely' was produced by FTI graduate Claire Marshall and Directed by Ben Young was a stylish futuristic film that provoked questions of morality in the area of biological science, questions totally relevent for todays society. I was amazed to hear how little money had been spent on this film given it's overt style and glamour.

Here are a few shots from the recent screening of the short film 'La Serena'.
I caught a screening of 'Irrevocable' a new short film from co-Directors Conrad Le Bron and Stevie Cruz-Martin. The film uses a non-linear approach to show several different characters experience and respond to a single act of brutal violence.
I don't know much about these filmmakers, I've auditioned Le Bron as an actor in the past and I think actors can make great storytellers and filmmakers because they really understand the nature of performance and creating dramatic moments. I thought this film created a great mood and atmosphere, and I liked it's loose camera work and easy going appraoch, it could have easy been painfully melodramatic.
The non-linear storytelling device is one that has been used to death and there are so many short films that utilise it - it would have been great to see a fresher approach to showing multiple perspectives. The performances from Le Bron, Kelly Paterniti and AManda McGregor and Jake Lyall were all pretty good. This films worth a look if you see it screening again.

If you've spent much time in the FTI building, you'll find this rough history of the building and it's architecture interesting. Quite often older gentleman who went to high school in the building can be found wandering in and reminicing about their teenage years. Imagine back when the Conferecne Room was the Head Masters Office and the Bunker Office was just a Cloak Room.
On his blog 'Adspace Pioneers' Julian Cole has coined the term 'Audience Equity' to describe the increased power a cross media personailty has in transferring audiences from one entertainment platform to another. Cole cites the recent recruitment of radio stars Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O to host the Australian version of 'Big Brother' as an example.
While both Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O have previously fronted television program, Sandilands is a judge on 'Australian Idol' and Jackie O hosted the reality series 'Australian Princess' - neither of these shows had direct links with their work on radio. 'Big Brother' is a veichle that transfers well across the two mediums of televison and radio, the television show gives the radio hosts lots to talk about on radio.
The cross over between Radio and TV presenters has been growing for the last several years, a list of stars with 'Audience Equity' might include Hamish Blake and Andy Lee, Adam Spencer, Mikey Robbins, Myf Warhurst, Peter Hellier, Dave Hughes, Kate Ritchie, Merrick and Rosso and Ryan Fitzgerald.
This creates a challenge for radio though, do radio shows now have to good looking and suitable for television? I think the answer is 'YES' just take a look how visual the web pages are for any modern radio station and how often a radio show encourages people to log on to the stations web site and take a look at something. Look up the website of any commercial radio station and you will see a host of good looking radio stars. The expressions 'A face made for radio' is soon to be a thing of the past.
Sometimes it's really surprising when you see your first visual glimpse of a presenter who has previously only been a voice - your mental image of them is nothing like the reality.
Increasingly we are seeing the crew in interviews, ABC-TV's JTV often shows the crew as their filming interviews - so how long is it before the crew too have to be good looking?

Last year I posted about an old Roama Toy Projector I picked up at a Sunday morning swap meet, over the following months there have been quite a number of comments added to this post.
Most recently Bruce White has shared some scans of some of the roles of film that came with his toy projector.
Take a look at Bruce's images

Here at FTI we meet lots of people who have an idea for a film or TV program. One of the most common fears people have entering our industry is that someone will steal their ideas - and one of the most common questions we get asked is how to I protect my brilliant idea.
The truth is though, that most of these ideas are actually not brilliant, most actually range from 'boring' to 'interesting to you and you alone', to 'done before' and 'slightly maybe interesting'.
But even if you sifted through all the ideas and retained the trully brilliant ones, there would still be a wide selection, because it turns out there is no shortage of brilliant ideas there is actually quite a lot out there.
But another thing happens, many of the ideas will be identical. Two people who have never met, will come in one ofter the other and pitch the same idea for a television show. Three times in a week you'll hear someone say, "I've worked out something nobody else knows..", and they'll then proceed to tell you the same thing you heard yesterday.
The reason for this is simple, these are natural ideas - extensions of existing concepts, next generation ideas - that build upon something we already know.
Here's an example - People liked that Dancing Show on ABC hosted by Paul McDermott 'Strictly Dancing' - people like shows with Celebrity Contestents - lets make a show where Celebrities dance - and so we get 'Dancing with the Stars'. An obvious televison show idea tight now would be - people like Abusive Chefs - lets make a celebrity cooking challenge.
Here's another - people love those Chaser boys and their shenanigans, their sending up of shows like 'ACA' and 'Today Tonight', let's create a program that airs at 6:30 and is a mocumentary satirical comedy half hour - Channel 10 that's an idea for you.
No not genius - just obvious. This is join-the-dots creativity. these ideas are in the air, a public conciousness.
I've often tried to explain this phenomena to people who are over-protective of their not incredibly original idea. But now there is some back up proof, check out this article in THE NEW YORKER by Malcom Gladwell, author of 'The Tipping Point' and 'Blink'. Gladwell has a huge range of multiples from the invention of calculus and the telephone to the sudden increase in the discovery of T-Rex skeletons.

I spent a hectic few days in Melbourne at the beginning of this week for the start up workshops of the 'Reframing the Future 2008' program (more on that later). I flew in on Sunday night and as soon as I got off the plane there a text message from my friend Claire Morgan, who is the Training Manager at Sydney's MetroScreen.
'Let's go to the closing night awards of St Kilda, I've got some tickets'.
So I grabbed my luggage from the baggage carousel, caught a taxi to my hotel, literally threw my backs in the room, had a moment deciding what to wear - and rushed out to grab another taxi down to the Powerhouse Function Centre in Albert Park.
The room was filled with big round tables, decked out with candles that floated above the tables at eye level - very 'Harry Potter'. There were drinks outside on the balcony and plenty of Perth filmmakers around including Tenille Kennedy, Karen Farmer, Luke Hardman, Patrick Herford and Jessica Woodland.
Back inside the awards ceremony got underway, hosted by Rockwiz's Julia Zemiro - a natural talent who took the stage without a script, showing her talent as a natural comedienne. Zemiro explained the simple procedure required of award winners and presenters - approach the stage from 'off prompt side' - wait while the clip plays, walk on stage, speak briefly, carefully leave stage. It seems simple, but all awards need this instruction session - it saves up from long speeches, people talking over the clip of their film and award recipients who insist on trying to enter the stage from the side that has no stairs.
The first award of the night was the Audience Choice Award - sadly it could not be announced, simply because there were too many votes left uncounted by the beginning of the awards night. The short film 'Spider' was announced as the winner later in the week. The evening continued with a range of presenter giving out awards in various categories, Rev founder Richard Sowada was there representing ACMI, while SBS's Carole Sklan accidently walked in front of the clip while it was playing - clearly not having paid attention to Julia's briefing - but it was forgiven it just presented one of the many comic moments of the night.
The room was classy looking, like all film awards everyone had dressed up, some wore suits, other's had found a pair of jeans with less holes than the other pairs - a true meeting of people at different stages of their careers. The waiters served pizza's, ordered in, still in their boxes to each table. An eclectic mix of classiness and commonness.
There was an ongoing and fun banter between Zemiro and the audience as she noted she was the only person in the room not getting any pizza - an oversight that was soon corrected when the next winner brought a box to the stage.
The final award, the $10,000 for Best Film was won by 'Katoomba' which was written and driected by Leon Ford. Leon wasn't there but someone shouted out he was on his way down, and would be here in just two minutes. Gracious host Julia Zemiro offered to fill - but an update placed Ford at 4 minutes away from the venue. The Festival Director joined Zemiro on stage and shared some reflections on Leon's career as an actor, his work in film and on the stage and some stories of his past. When Leon Ford entered the auditorium he got a rapturous applause, for it has been nearly 10 minutes since his name was announced - I'm niot quite sure he knew what he'd walked into.
The night continued on, back out on the balcony for several hours more.

The Tribecca Film Festival is in full swing and one of the films featured is a new feature animation 'Sita Sings the Blues'. Animator Nina Paley's created the entire film all by herself. Using flash animation and working out of her home office. You can read more about thie film at the NEW YORK TIMES.
Is an animator working alone something that should be encouraged though? In Australia we laud the achievements of animator Adam Elliot and his Oscar winning film short 'Harvey Crumpet', yet as much as his creative work is aclaimed, we equally highlight the fact that he did this work all by himself.
Animators generally are a shy bunch, staying at home and working alone in the animation world is not so much an achievement, more a natural state. If we acclaimed animators for getting out, meeting other animators and collaborating with such vigour, think of the positive effect that could have.
The number one skill that production companies cite they search for in animators is the ability to work in a team, communicate and collaborate. This is why events like WAnimate's recent WAM BAM competition, the production based training techniques and the schemes at the FTI Animation Centre are so important. They are about getting out, getting invovled and meeting and working with others.
Sure, it's understandable, if you work alone you don't have to compromise your artistic vision, yet the films that people make off their own rarely seem to find a life outside the elite film festival circuit. The greater challenge still though is to work within a team and ensure that a distinct artistic vision is achieved.
Whichever way you look at the work of a team is a far greater achievement.
