On a separate note...
If you've ever thought about stepping on a snail, think again! Because, a) We know you ain't a killer, b) Snails are awesome! Yes, we came to this conclusion after watching Bave Circus by our featured filmmaker Nicolas Dufresne, aka Duduf. In addition to doing animation and VFX work for select clients, Dufresne also works as an independent filmmaker, director, and animator. In Bave Circus, which won the special jury award at the International Cartoon and Digital Art Festival in Beijing, we see animation at his best, and all we're missing is our 3D glasses. Dufresne's work is creative, inventive, and full of movement that is graceful and colorful. We can't wait to see his new short, which he'll shoot in March.
Circuses remind us of fairy tales, and fairy tales make us think of Lisa Stock whose Web TV is our featured channel this week. Stock's films are inspired by myths, fairy tales, and legends. She tells stories about characters who take risk and try to overcome adversity by using elements of fantasy and magical realism. You'll find a bit of Greek mythology and some Shakespeare in here, but most importantly, you will discover a daring filmmaker who is unafraid to explore the dark corners of the human soul.
