Ample Animations Abound
Thanx to DuGG for the heads up on this one…
TheQuickdraw Animation Society’s Youth Animation Project along with its partners The Creative Monkeys are jumping into the Web 2.0 soup making the original animations they are famous for available via podcasting.
From their release
…www.quickdrawshowcase.com a site that will feature animated films produced at Quickdraw Animation Society. Internet vodcasting (video podcasting) has granted the power of mass media, formerly controlled by major broadcasters, into the hands of the lowly indie animator/filmmaker. The purpose of the site is to promote indie animators creating interesting and thought provoking works. We are hoping that www.quickdrawshowcase.com will become a hub of animation fervor both locally, nationally, and internationally. Eventually many shows will be aired from the site the first of which is entitled ‘Frame by Frame’.
‘Frame by Frame’ is a new vodcast internet show launched by Quickdraw Animation society and the Youth Animation Project. Each episode will feature a new short animated film by a local Calgary based animator produced by the Youth Animation Project, a Service Canada Skills Link project (www.quickdrawshowcase.com/youth-animation-project ). Episodes will air twice a month on the 1st and the 15th. You can visit www.quickdrawshowcase.com to view new episode on its own or subscribe to the rss stream and new episode will be uploaded to your computer minutes after being posted on the site.
You will find the Feed here. I’ve subscribed and I will catch the episodes on my ipod touch. The only think I could suggest is that they add an itune “1click” to save me from cutting and pasting. (Maybe throw in a Zune 1click for fun)
