Okay people, so I'm finally coming down off of my Ottawa International Animation Festival high. The degree project I made at Massachusetts College of Art, "I Slept With Cookie Monster," was accepted into the festival and actually won two awards! I feel so fortunate that my work has meant something to so many people. Thanks to everyone for their wonderful feedback!

But now it's time to get back to the "real world," which means back to finishing my freelance project and FINDING A JOB. Boo.

I thought I would share my latest work with those of you interested in checking, and hopefully get some feedback. I'm doing some short work for a company making a documentary about a Jewish anthropologist who wrote a book in the '50's about African American's connection to their African ancestors. Instead of having lots of reenactments, they wanted to have some animated short sequences, so here's what I've got so far. Any thoughts?(aside from the fact that i can't find a good compression for ANYTHING on blogger?)

Hey Kara,
Beautiful work! I'm sure its incredibly difficult to do especially now after the fact but is there a way to have the pot change shape slightly while the hands shape it? I think what you have so far is amazing! I cant wait to see the finished piece!!

hey thanks doll face. it's so hard to tell with this bad compression. you can't even see the images on the pot, but they're actually animating as they go by. meh?

yeah, lookin real good. would love to see the animations on the pot side a bit better, but so it goes with internet compromise...I'd like to know how it was created if you don't mine spillin dem beans.
