Last night I got to do one of those things you always wish you could do, but never think will happen. I met Henry Selick, director of one of my favourite films The Nightmare Before Christmas. He also directed Coraline and is on a small promotional tour. Larisa won tickets and we got to sit second row and I got to experience one of the most inspirational nights I’ve had in a long time.
When you meet a person you pretty much idolise and want to be one day, it’s a pretty crazy feeling. I became a huge fangirl. But I did get to go up to him at the end of the evening and tell him Jack Skellington is my favourite animated character. He didn’t simply reply with a thank you, he gave me a whole explanation how he is told he moves like Jack and he acted out many of my favourite Jack moments for the animators.
And then he said he liked my shoes. I’m one happy animator!

Ok, I’m going to have to look this one up. Amazing composition, it’s just a regular street, nothing fancy then your eye is drawn up and makes you looks twice.
..and so the chase to become the first digitally animated film nominated for Best Picture begins.

I really hope Up gets a nod for best picture…it will be leaps and bounds for the medium if it does, showing that it doesn’t matter how a film is made, but how it is received by the audience. It’s all about story!
