The Animation Podcast

Month: May 2006

  • More to come

    Hey everybody! I’ve been trying to find the time to work on the next shows (with a NEW guest), so when that all comes together, you’ll be getting Show 16. In the meantime, while I’m not editing audio, I’ll be taking a fresh look at my email inbox to see if I can whittle down the pile and respond to you if you’ve contacted me. Thanks for the patience. I know there are a lot of different places you can go on the web for animation information, and I’m happy to have you stop by here.

    On a side note, I’ve been getting questions about unfinished interviews. I’ve got more Nik Ranieri audio to make a few more shows (and then we’ll get together again to bring it to the present). You’ve heard all the Ron & John audio I have, but now that they’re back at Disney, we can finish what we started. Like I said in Show 15, I’ll be meeting again with Glen, so if you want to ask him a question, use the Voicemail link in the header and record yourself.

    You’ll hear from me soon.

  • BBC Motion Gallery widget for OSX

    The BBC Motion Gallery is a fantastic resource for video reference with comprehensive categorization of all its movies. I’ve spent hours combing through the clips. If you’ve got a Mac and OSX Tiger, they’ve released a Dashboard search widget to make finding just the right clip a snap. Separate search words with spaces and it will pare down the results. I searched ‘dog fight’ and it came up with a charming clip of prairie dogs fighting. Amazing!

    Thanks to The Unnofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) for the link.

  • Get email updates. Also, testing a more compact look.

    For those of you who aren’t subscribed in iTunes, and for the people who don’t get updates via the RSS feed – basically anyone using the internet like it’s still the 90s – I’ve added the option to get an email when a new show is released. I haven’t exactly tested it, but when the next show comes out we’ll see how it works. 🙂

    You’ll only get an email when a new podcast is posted.

    You can find the link in the sidebar or just click here.

    I’m also trying out this new layout that puts the focus on the shows and makes them easier to see on the page. Everything else will be placed under the category ‘Inbetweens’ – what else? – and truncated to show just the title.

    If you’re afraid you’ll miss something important, always read the posts in the ‘Noteworthy’ category. They have the cute little heart icon. Isn’t that special?
