features and shorts, will run from 23rd November - 1st December this year.

I'd suggest taking a look at the Schedule for Monday 26th - Saturday 1st.
Animation Mentor & The 11 Second Club If you want to see some great student character animation, take at look at the
recent AnimationMentor.com Student Showcase.
AnimationMentor.com also
sponsors the 11 Second Club. The 11 Second Club is a monthly character
animation competition. Each month, members animate a character speaking a
line of dialogue provided by the club. Lots of members post their work in
progress for critique on the forums, and at the end of the month, everyone
votes for the best entry. The idea is to give animators a chance to practice
their skills in a fun, challenging environment.
Michel Gagne During a recent tutorial, the animator Michel Gagne was the subject of
discussion. Michel has produced some very interesting abstract and character
animations based on the theme sound.
Take a look at the YouTube
compilation of Channel Idents commissioned for Nickelodeon's 2005 "Halloween
Shriekin Weekend"
...and take a look at the animations on his website
- Highly recommend is the short excerpt from
Sensology and Michel's contribution to Pixar's
Ratatouille.

Hardware Specifications for MacBook It appears a lot of you attempting to run MAYA 8 and 8.5 on your
MacBooks are experiencing display problems. After taking a look at the MAYA
specifications and reading through the forums on the Autodesk website, it is
apparent that MAYA 8 and 8.5 are not supported on MacBooks at all - even the
new black ones.
The good news is that according
to the Autodesk forums, MAYA 2008 is supported on MacBooks. You therefore
have 2 options - either update your MacBooks to
MacBook
Pro (the new black ones) or upgrade your MAYA to MAYA 2008.
You also need to be running Mac
OS X 10.4.7 or higher.
Some of the forums mention
installing a 3rd party video driver that fixes the problem with MAYA 8. I'd
higher recommend you do not try this.

Interesting Site Here's a pretty interesting site with a wide range of content and
styles. For those of you who are fans of
Dave McKean
(MirrorMask), there's a lot of his material there. I particularly like
Sonnet.
Thanks to the person who contributed the
link - whoever you are. Keep them coming.
A
Correction..!!
During last weeks class to Level 1 students, I was referring to the film
Betty
Blue (37.2 Le Matin) (1986) by Director Jean-Jacques Beineix. I
mentioned in the class that Beineix also directed the movies
Diva
(1981) and Nikita (1990).
