This student film was produced as a graduate project in 2011 by Simon Cottee at the Queensland College of Art at Griffith University in Australia. It's won several major festival awards during its run down under and is now available for all to see online. The story involves a young man who's attending the wedding of his estranged father and the thoughts and feelings he experiences. Additional credits include story by Jack Vening and sound fx by Dan Brumm.

It has 6,327,709 views is just 3 days since January 29 as of this writing rivaling the exposure it would get if it was broadcast on television in the US and probably exceeding it. The Oscar nominated short is a beautiful work. Now it's online and everyone can enjoy it. Kudos to first time director John Kahrs for a great artistic accomplishment. You can follow and interact with him on Twitter.

Hello friends and brothers and sisters in our art form and community!
Since its inception and launch in February 1999 the AnimationNation Movement has been at the core of industry reform. There are many problems within animation especially when it comes to the interests of artists. Most individuals, groups, organizations and websites involved in our industry ignore this or gloss over things or attempt to trivialize or discredit these issues and thus become part of the dysfunction. One of the more chronic challenges we face is the epidemic of free work. The willingness of artists to do free work in exchange for credit or what have you. Anything but money. Especially for artists coming out of school or looking to make a transition from one work environment to another.
My long time friend, associate, brother in arms and character design legend Stephen Silver has just launched a campaign to do something about this and we at AnimationNation are wholeheartedly backing the effort. Take a look at his latest YouTube video and listen to what he has to say. It's vitally important to us all. Embrace the challenge and help to get the message out. Let's do something about this once and for all. Take a stand all you marvelous talented people out there! Join the campaign to stop the epidemic of free work!
Here's the Forum topic. Spread the word...
NO MORE FREE WORK !!!

It wasn't so long ago when a film like this would have been a worldwide phenomenon if it originated from an established studio. Today we're seeing creative content from a school level that's so good it meets or even exceeds what many studios can do to the point where we're almost taking it for granted. Great films coming out literally every day.
Here's the latest entry into the great pool of excellence we're experiencing in our art and industry all over the planet. A well told and highly imaginative story sans dialogue that's traditionally animated. "The Reward" hails from The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark. Here's a link to the school's Facebook page. Enjoy this excellent film...

A graduation project of filmmaker Amanda Nedermeijer while attending the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam. She animated traditionally utilizing Toonboom and then printed everything to use the cut out images in a stop motion technique recreating the entire process. A lot of work to show how much work animation can be. Well worth the results as you can see in her video...
