Here’s the Precinct stuff from the Opera House contest

Posted on August 21, 2010 by David

I entered and was a finalist in the Sydney Opera House’s GRAPHIC animation competition! I’ve whacked the stuff I had to make for the contest on YouTube.

I spent the weekend in Sydney at the GRAPHIC comics/animation-related festival/event-series/thing! It was a very nice com/an-rel fest/ev-ser/thg which I certainly wouldn’t have gone to/been able to afford if I hadn’t been a finalist in their animation competition.

See the multitude of people and animals bent on breaking John Howard’s knees! Even cats want in on this action. In other news, I replaced my website with a single PNG image….

So here is how to animate Precinct characters: Exciting things are threatening to happen, Precinct-wise, lately….
