Tony White
Tony White is a British Academy Award-winning animation director, animator, author, educator and consultant. At the beginning of his career, he studied advanced animation techniques with some of the finest masters of the art-form. Specifically: Ken Harris (original lead animator of "Bugs Bunny," "Roadrunner," etc.), Art Babbit (original lead animator on "Pinocchio," "Fantasia," etc.) and Richard Williams (3 times Oscar winner and author of "The Animator's Survival Kit"). Tony is currently animation program director and instructor at the inspirational non-profit, AIE-Seattle (www.theaie.us), where he is developing a 2-year program that will enable students to enter the industry without the extreme student loan challenges that are common at other animation schools in the USA. Tony is founder of "Drawassic Age" (www.drawassic.com), a ground-breaking animation studio that seeks to preserve, teach and evolve the art-form of traditional animation in this digital age. Tony's ultimate dream is to establish a unique atelier-style studio/academy of advanced animation - where his most talented student graduates can gain industry experience through an MFA-level style apprenticeship with master professional animators, on unique, ground-breaking animated films. To help realize this dream, Drawassic Age is currently producing a short 2D animated teaser for its first intended movie production "Bad Penguin". (www.badpenguinmovie.com) Tony's current best-selling books include: "The Animator's Workbook"; "Animation from Pencils to Pixels ~ Classical Techniques for Digital Animators"; "How To Make Animated Films" and "Jumping Through Hoops: The Animation Job Coach". His latest (and Tony believes, his best) animation book, "Animator's Notebook", is to be published in October 2011 by Focal Press.

10th ANNUAL PORT TOWNSEND FILM FESTIVAL

Its probably a little late for many of you filmmakers out there but I just want to remind you that the Port Townsend Film Festival, located in a really fabulous part of the Pacific Northwest, currently has it's call for entries out for this year's event. This year's festival, the 10th in a long line of successful events, will take place on September 24-27th in Port Townsend, WA. If however you do want to enter your film for this really enjoyable event, you'll need to get it into Terry Tennessen (this year's new Operations Director) by March 31st, 2009. Festival 'guests of honor' in previous years include Tony Curtis, Debra Winger, Malcolm MacDowell and Elliot Gould... so even if you're just planning to visit, it is definitely an event not to miss!

Further details can be obtained from the festival website at http://www.ptfilmfest.com.

Oh, and if you didn't catch up on our own fabulous "2D OR NOT 2D Animation Festival" event last November, don't forget to visit the website at http://www.2dornot2d.org for all the news! The event is now only going to be held every two years... so this will have to satisfy you till the next one in November 2010!
