Recently I discovered
Submarine Channel, a site that regularly trawls the internet for the freshest talent and quirkiest sites the world has offer, as well as showcasing their many cross-media projects. We were flattered to discover that they had included us in their
Top 10 curated online video portals, where you can add your opinion on who you think should be in the Top 10. And they ran a short news feature on our AnimateTV commission
Damaged Goods.
Recent works they've picked up on their radar: microblogging community
Seesmic, the archival delights of
Europa Film Treasures and the latest Toshiba
Timesculpture advert. Also, it transpires that they are behind the wonderful site
Forget the Film, Watch the Titles, which showcases the often under appreciated craft of film title design. Plus, they've got not one, but two interview sections:
text based interviews including Second Life filmmaker
Douglas Gayeton, film title designer
Karin Fong and (one of my favourite animators)
Motomichi Nakamura; and
video interviews featuring creative folks such as Special FX masters
DDT and human sculpture enthusiast Erwin Wurm. And they've even got a shop.
SubmarineChannel - subscribe and let them do the scoping for you.
I've just discovered a lovely in-depth interview with Mark Simon Hewis and MarBelle on Directors Notes. The interview focuses on the production process behind Mark's 2007 AnimateTV commission The Life Size Zoetrope and I'm pleased to say Mark speaks quite positively about the experience. You can listen to and download the podcast here.
