Kaveh Nabatian’s Taxi Libre Wins DGC Best Short Film Award

The Directors Guild of Canada celebrated the 10th anniversary of the DGC Awards in Toronto on October 29th. And among the winners is Kaveh Nabatian’s short film Taxi Libre.

It’s the story of a Mexican university professor who is stuck driving a taxi in Montreal. While he tries to land a job he’s truly trained for, his tequila-swilling guardian angel isn’t making life any easier.

Woolf + Lapin is excited to be in talks with See Creature, Dale Hayward and Sylvie Trouvé’s new animation venture,.

Formerly of La Moustache, Sylvie and Dale have recently given birth to See Creature, which is founded on the belief that anything can be animated.

True specialists at on-location animation, they work in stop-motion, 2D, after effects, mixed media and live action to create the most impressive of desired outcomes.

We will post more stuff of theirs soon, namely their much talked about H2Oil.

En Masse @ Ottawa Animation Fest

 

(click to enlarge)

En Masse was in Ottawa over the weekend for this mural commissioned by the Ottawa International Animation Festival.

“Under the direction of Jason Botkin and Rupert Bottenberg, EN MASSE is an ongoing series of artistic conversations of a sort, a non-linear dialog connecting many artists through the creation of large-scale collaborative black and white murals. The shape and character of each specific EN MASSE event is defined by those creators who take part in the project, and the energies they individually and collectively bring to the mix. EN MASSE brings together emerging artists drawn from the diverse fields of the ‘high’ and ‘low’ brow arts, the latter including graffiti, alternative comics, and illustration.

“The EN MASSE mandate is twofold; firstly, to increase the visibility of new young artists, both collectively and as individuals, and secondly, to foster community-oriented art events and programming, built upon a specific form of collaborative interaction and immersion between the chosen artists. Our events are greatly enhanced through partnerships with a wide range of arts/educational organizations, such as Art Pop Montreal, EMSB (English Montreal School Board), various galleries, and of course, the public.” (EN MASSE Facebook)

Here’s an interview En Masse’s Dale Hayward recently gave to Xpress.

Of note: En Masse also documented the creation of the mural for the festival.

Director Paul Laberge Animates This Playful Clip For Bimixs

This clip’s aim was to detail how easy to use this new email organizer from Bimixs is.

The idea of the software is to get rid of the chaos everybody has in their inbox.

Target groups are SMEs or project teams, which send thousands of emails and documents back and forth.

It’s tedious inbox organization made easy.

And Paul put his pencil to work to illustrate it all…
