1st Anniversary for 'Deja View'

Congratulations to Andreas Deja for his first year in blogging. Over the last year his blog 'Deja View' has presented us with a wealth of knowledge from the Disney back catalogue. From scene planning to character designs to films that never even saw the light of day.

I personally have enjoyed every single post and have learnt so much from each one. His knowledge on the nine old men is amazing and his personal collection of animation drawings certainly proves that. He is truly a Disney icon and fanatic and I look forward to lots more posts and insights.

Keep up the good work Andreas and heres to another year on top!

Here are some drawings that he did for a film that never made it further that initial development. This had to be my favourite of his posts, I just love his characters, the movement and acting he gets out of a single drawing.

New 'Wreck-It-Ralph' trailer

Just watched the Disney's new 'Wreck-it-Ralph' trailer. For their 52nd animated feature it's about time they broke away from convention but to go down the parody route just seems a bit too easy and non-adventurous.

It does pose a new idea though, putting famous computer game characters into one film. Just feel that it isn't very Disney, more Dreamworks and even they've cut down on output like this.

Fingers crossed its a great film! Ever the optimist!

Skhlzein by Jeremy Clapin

Just saw a great film by Jeremy Clapin and had to repost it straight away. I will definatly get round to watching more of his films but here is the film I found.


I will make a better post on this tomorrow, but for now here is Jeremy's  'Skhlzein'

IHUK advert

Been busy lately creating a great new online advert for the guys at Independent Hostels UK. It has been a really interesting project and has allowed me to put over a style that I have been wanting to use for some time. The characters are loosely based around the style of Hanna-Barbara, of which I have been a big fan of for a number of years. The right project has never come along but at long last this seemed to be 'the one'.

The project is yet to be completed but should only be a week or so away, so watch this space for hopefully a finished IHUK advert.

Here are the characters in the mean time.
