"Vernic" down under



I've just discovered "Vernic" played in the Melbourne International Animation Festival in June this year in the student film category! Bournemouth University forgot to tell me, which was nice of them. This is what the festival had to say about the student entry's this year:

"The vibrancy and rule-breaking abandon of student animation bursts onto the big screen for the 'festival-within-a-festival'. Raw energy, wild ideas and the kind of films that can only be made with people who have at least one foot firmly planted in the future are what these screenings are all about. We receive submissions from more than 50 tertiary level schools all over the world and this tiny sample of the very best tells us that creative animation is going to be around for a long time yet."

You can see the full animation line-up at:

Don't forget, you can watch "Vernic" as well as write a review and cast a vote on the Super Shorts Film Festival online. (On the film links)

Well, according to the festival programme it opened programme 2 of the student animation festival on Thurs 23 June, 6.30pm! But if it's news to the NCCA then goodness knows. Why are we always the last to know these things?!

I should say that Henry made the glass shader for the ashtray, which really helped sell the realism in "Vernic". Thanks Henry!
