|
L to R: Omar Al-Hafidh, Tony Song (way in the background) and Jeremy Bondy. Omar's film, Out of Bounds, is a cautionary tale of child safety. Tony's film, Just Remember Me, features a girl trying to download her late father's essence into a robot. Jeremy's film, Pollen, is a chase with a twist ending. |
|
Victor Preto's film, Theft, uses Flash in a very sophisticated way. |
|
Evee Fex-chriszt's film, The Terrible Bandit, shows off her masterful drawing and animation skills. |
|
Garth Laidlaw's film, Finally, anticipates the zombie apocalypse. |
|
Leigh Ann Frostad's film, Origin Story, is about the conflict between the sun and the moon and shows off her distinctive designs. |
|
L to R: Dean Heezen, Shen Ramu and character design instructor Peter Emslie. Dean's film, Sax, was an audience favourite showing off superb animation and choreography. Shen's film, Bygone Bounce, is a clever look at the aging process. |
|
Justin Hartley receives an award for his film, Murder on the Docks, from Judy Leung of Nelvana. The film is a film noir pastiche made in stereoscopic 3D. |
|
Hai Wei Hou receives an award for her film, Vernal Equinox, from Associate Dean Angela Stukator. Haiwei's film shows off her remarkable draftsmanship and design sense. |
|
Last and not least is Tony Tarantini, who teaches layout and art direction to third year students and is the organizer of industry day. Tony pulls together this large and successful event every year, giving both students and industry the chance to connect for their mutual benefit. Tony appeared on Canada A.M. that morning to talk about the event. |
