Oriel Davies is seeking submissions from artists across the UK for its 2010 Open Exhibition. Entries are invited which explore animation in its most broad and experimental sense.
Some good new years news, Shropshire based animator and big friend of Flip, Sam Moore, is going to the Berlin International Film Festival talent Campus with her recent film, Eyeful of Sound.
I’m really very delighted to say we are holding the first public screening of the Brothers McLeod’s new film, The Moon Bird. It’s part of the Digishorts screening here at Light House on 12 Jan. Do come along, see the films, hear from the filmmakers and do some socialising.
created as part of the one day animation challenge during Flip 2009

I’ve just picked this up off the Neatorama website and it’s too good not to share it’s a frame by frame stop motion reproduction of the bullet dodging scene from he 1st Matrix move – pretty damn awesome if you ask me!
Visit the creators website and see how they did it www.legomatrix.com

We know some of you would have loved to be here the other weekend to celebrate the world of animation and all things Flip with us,
and we know you probably had a very good reason for not coming didn’t you?
Loss of limb, the diagnoses of a previously unheard of illness, you know the sort of excuse you’d use to get out of school exams and we understand, we really do. This is what we have compiled a list of links for you to some of the films and blogs of animators featured here during Flip 09…

Needless to say with my stop motion centric mind the ones using this type of animation were my favourite, but you can make up your own minds.

OK so I’ve not entered anything, to be honest I wouldn’t know where to start making a film, let alone one of this standard, but if your interested in which short animations will be competing for oscars at the next Academy Awards we’ve got the list:
• The Cat Piano Eddie White and Ari Gibson, directors (The People’s Republic of Animation)
• French Roast Fabrice O. Joubert, director (Pumpkin Factory/Bibo Films)
• Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty Nicky Phelan, director, and Darragh O’Connell, producer (Brown Bag Films)
• The Kinematograph Tomek Baginski, director-producer (Platige Image)
• The Lady and the Reaper (La Dama y la Muerte) Javier Recio Gracia, director (Kandor Graphics and Green Moon)

• Partly Cloudy Peter Sohn, director (Pixar Animation Studios)
• Runaway Cordell Barker, director (National Film Board of Canada)

Now we know winning an Oscar is not as big an accolade as receiving an award at Flip, but we’ve all got to start somewhere
