A good time was had by all at this year’s Ottawa International Animation Festival. Sure, there was some trouble at the border, but we should be used to that by now. We enjoyed talking to old friends and making plenty of new ones. And the weather? Best ever.<\/p>\n

The best night of competition had to be Friday night, with shorts like Fast Film<\/a>, Ward 13<\/a>, and Ryan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s competition was doom and gloom, but I think we made up for it with our screenings of True Believer<\/a>, Sharks in the Water<\/a>, and Su & Mo: Lost in Animation<\/a> at the Nelvana\/Chez Ani party. Not to mention a political cartoon that our friend Bob Lyons worked on, Schlock and Awe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some more of our favorites from the week:
Brother, Can You Spare a Job?<\/a>
Interception<\/a>
Mr. Reaper’s Really Bad Morning<\/a>
The Shining in 30 Seconds Re-enacted by Bunnies<\/a>
Intolerence part III<\/a>
Hair High<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ll be posting festival pictures here soon…<\/p>\n

Photoshop is a wonderful thing.
