Happy new year. Today I did a schedule for my film. I want to finish it by February 15th so that I can submit it to Annecy. I’ve done some maths (I can do animation and maths) and I worked out I need to do about 80 seconds a week which is 11.4 seconds a day if I work every day. I’ve done about 80 seconds already so basically all I need to do is do the equivalent of what I’ve done from July 20th, 2011 to January 2nd, 2012 in a week, every week, for six weeks. At times like this I look back to when I’ve made films before…

Francis Cooper completion rate

Been working at Aardman on some ITV Christmas idents with Tim Ruffle. Been hard resisting getting into the spirit and watching my favourite Mariah Carey/Disney Christmas video before it’s December but I’ve managed it so far. Also moved to London and been working on my film in-between jobs. I’ve set myself a deadline of 15th February for the Annecy short film deadline to get it done. A schedule is what I need. Going ok so far though; picture for proof that I’ve done at least 65 frames.

  • Andy doing some narrationfor my new film

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been recording the voices for my film. Due to budget constraints I did it in a walk in wardrobe. Here’s Andy London in action.

Just back from Annecy which was brilliant as usual. Here’s my film that was in competition in the shorts selection way back in 2008. I’m working on my new film now; really hope to see it there next year!

I decided to look through some old photos I took when I was a teenager as a bit of research for my new film. They’re quite grumpy, but I still quite like them - I think they reflect where I grew up quite well!
