“Smarter Than The Average” is radio program that airs on Resonance 104.4fm in London. They broadcast on the internet, but I missed the original airing of the first show when it played a couple months ago. The good news is, the hosts Julian and Jonathan have reconstructed and posted the audio for all to enjoy. It’s a fun, hour-long show where they play all kinds of animation related audio, some familiar, some not so common. Give it a listen and if you like it, tune in when they broadcast “Smarter Than The Average 2: The New Batch” on April 3rd, repeating on April 10th.

Here’s the link to audio of the original show.

Update: fixed the date (I had it wrong). Thanks Chris for pointing that out.

A Milt Kahl lecture at CalArts from 1976, generously donated by John Musker. Milt discusses a rough cut of some of his work on Medusa in “The Rescuers.” Side one of two. The discussion is similar to some of the audio made available at Seward Street. If you haven’t listened to that yet, be sure to check it out.

I’ve been futzing with a new theme that offers some cool functionality, so check it out. If you don’t see a difference, use the Theme Switcher in the sidebar. And if it totally busts your viewing experience, just switch back. I know it’s very “traditional” in the animation sense of the word, but don’t get all bent, there’s a CG theme coming soon.

Conclusion of my interview with Eamonn Butler (he’s the one in the tux), Animation Supervisor on the films “Chicken Little” and “Reign of Fire.” Eamonn talks about how he approached many aspects of animation on “Chicken Little.” Part two of two.
