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.

Irasshai by Yia Tien Tu (Student Animation)
Kidnap by Slijia Luo (Student Animation)

Barko by Allison Craig (2D Animation)

Philadelphia Chickens by Sandra Boynton (All-style Animation)

Alex et les fantomes by Eric Warin (All-style Animation)

Sorry Film Not Ready by Janet Perlman (All-style Animation)

The film universally considered the ‘Best of Fest’ was Ryan Woodward’s breathtaking short, Thought of You.

(Note: The “Golden Pencil Award” is given to the films accepted for the final awards show screening that marks the opening of the evening events at the festival. Each film was greeted with a warm and enthusiastic response by the audience - which makes us believe that the films we chose were universally liked by one and all!)

We wish to offer our sincerest congratulations to all the award-winners and wish you every success with your films in the future. We also wish to congratulate all filmmakers who submitted to this year’s festival as, even if you didn’t achieve an award, you have our greatest admiration for finishing your own independently produced film in the first place! It is no each task to finish any animated film and for that fact alone you deserve congratulations and recognition all round.
