Don't Sweat the Technique

Celebration! The endless frames that were painted for Magyar Posse's Whirlpool of Terror and Tension were not created in vain as the video was accepted to compete at the Oulu Music Video Festival (www.omvf.net) which takes between the 6th and 10th of September.. We would have been disappointed to say the least had the video not been accepted to the competition. Lauri ( the guy on the right side of the picture ) is the Art Director of Las Palmas Films. He's worked his ass off doing this project for the past few weeks so hopefully the video is well received by the audience, as well as the jury of course. Me and the other two Lauri's (Betonfoot and Oktopus) have black ink stained fingers as a reminder of a few weeks of animating the old fashioned way. Hundreds of frames. Bloody frames. The word alone gives me shivers now. I'm exaggerating, of course. It's been exhausting at times, but the more you work for a project, the more you can appreciate the final product. But this is no mere product; it's a work of art. xD

Meanwhile, I've got a translation project on my hands which I should get done in two weeks. The subject matter of this particular translation project is not exactly my cup of tea, but I welcome the challenge. Like animation, translation is a technique sport. So don't sweat it. I got it covered. Peace.
