Ever wonder what goes into producing our “Derf the Viking” cartoons? Of course you have. Now go behind the scenes at our Derf site. Hear voice outtakes! Play pencil tests forwards and backwards! It’s loads of fun. You’ll need the Flash Plug-in to experience the joy.

Fans of Su and Mo beware! Recently, one of our workshop students was accessing the Bad Boys of Animation from his high school library. He was slapped with detention! So be warned, the animated antics of the world’s largest lap-dancers should only be viewed in a safe environment. (We’re not making this up.)

Our latest spring session of workshops was a great success. The next session is the Summer Animation Camp, Thursdays in August. Space is limited, so sign up now!
