Soggy Flakes has a Canadian Screen Award nomination for 2018 BEST WEB PROGRAM OR SERIES, FICTION and the ceremony is tonight so I arranged to do a live stream with the Affolter brothers (http://www.foreshadowfilms.com/) this afternoon before the ceremony.
We had a quick chat via Skype and I Live Streamed the feed to the Canadian Animation Blog YouTube channel as well. The Live Stream software I’m using has difficultly controlling audio channel volume – so please bear with the audio shifts. I’m hoping to have the kinks worked out for the next broadcast.
While chatting we talked about their web short Soggy Flakes (funded by Telus Storyhive), what category they are nominated for, the fact that the DHX series “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” (which they also worked on) won a bunch of CSAs last night, places Vancouver animators can meet up such as Vanimatic and Drawn Together Vancouver – a group organized to empower and advance women in art (http://drawntogethervancouver.org/), and to wrap up we talked about some of the amazing women in animation that we admire in honour of today being International Women’s Day.
The hotel connection started to fail as we were going through the list, so here they are with links to their websites so you can check them out as well:
