I had the opportunity to attend Internationale Trickfilm-Festival Stuttgart in Germany with ‘Hush Baby’. Upon Sophie’s suggestion to visit Paris as well, it turned out to be an amazing journey!
Following the successful showcase in London Generation Gallery during 2009 London Design Festivals, the 22 postcards make their way home for an exclusive showcase at Hairloom & Caramel for one week only.
From May 22 (Sat) 1pm to May 29 8pm
Location: Hairloom & Caramel
100 Beach Road, #01-50/52, Shaw Towers
Meet the Singapore illustrators this Saturday, 22 May ‘10, 1pm at Hairloom and Caramel! A collaboration between 22 illustrators from both Singapore and the UK. A6 /future/ invites these artists to share their thoughts, hopes and dreams about their future through the use of A6-sized postcards.
‘Hush Baby’ is selected for Internationale Trickfilm-Festival Stuttgart, Germany, which is taking place 4-9 May ‘10. It is competing in the ‘Young Animation’ category, screening on 5 and 6 May. Really looking forward to the event and hope that plans would work out nicely for me to be there. For now, the trailer for this year’s festival is really cool, here’s it:
The baby will next be crying at Anifest 2010, Czech Republic. So exciting!
The call for participation is open for SIGGRAPH Asia 2010. I’m Chair of Student Volunteers Program for this wonderful event happening on 15-18 Dec ‘10 in Seoul. As with the previous two SA events, this year’s will be overwhelming (in a good way) with much to see and learn.

It was a wonderful feeling last night when Vanessa was online to share the good news that we won Best Animation! Thank you so much. Hugs to Zihan who was awarded Best Script for Threshold, and to Sun as well :-) More details here. It is snowing very heavily now and I miss everyone back home.
The short film is also shortlisted for Experimental Animation Award at the Animex International Festival of Animation and Computer Games. Taking place on 8-12 February 2010 in Middlesbrough (UK). Details here.
Our very own annual Animation Nation is back this year with a fascinating programme of ‘must-see’ feature films, including The Secret of Kells, Mary and Max, Waltz with Bashir, Musahi: The Drama of the Last Samurai, A Town Called Panic and more, as well as short films, including Genius Party Beyond, Best of Studio AKA, Best of SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 and not forgetting our Singapore Showcase!
