BOO YA a POST!
Film and portfolio are finished and the art is here. There are a few things that have been posted before but it now has more context. I won't be able to post the whole film for a while because of festival rules and regulations but I think trailers are allowed. So we will see. Enjoy.

I've been following this blog for quite a bit. It's great to see this all put together and I'm really looking forward to seeing the full short.
Quick question: On PORT_017.jpg is that collage or 3D? It's a really interesting look.
Woohoo!
It looks awesome Ian!
Can't wait to see it. Congrats dude.
Hopefully we'll meet up sometime.
Hey pick up a copy of the open show DVD for me if you can... We can do a switcheroo.
By the way festivals are for the weak and you made me type "objwmkmm" just to post this which is a cruel form of punishment when you're doing it from an iPod touch keyboard.
Thanks Matt. That illustration you are referring to was done with photoshop in a collage-ish style. All the textures are from photographs or scanned pencil textures.
Alan- There you have it. I'll try and keep up the posts to avoid your griping. Festivals can be awesome, but the rules are lame. sometines they have great prizes and maybe I can find someone to finance the production of another film. I spent 8 months working on this beast and now its gonna work for me. Plus your getting a copy anyways so chill.
did you board everything over the summer? or did you start animation and such starting 2nd sem. like what I usually hear? AWESOME POST!
mj-
I started production in September right as school kicked off. I had some chicken scratch thumnails for boards that weren't anything like the final film. I ended up just making the film on the fly which is way more fun.
Your development art work is so awesome, just so, so, so inspiring.
Through out our 4 years at Cal Arts you have constantly raised the bar, influencing and pushing everyone with your talent.
Oh yeah, i love the scene in your film with the conflict between the Cat & Windmill, it gives me chills everytime i see it.
Saw your film finish the Producers' Show last night. Very impressive. First class from concept to execution, and obviously a great deal of effort to get there- you should feel secure that it was worth it. Well done, and congratulations.

Your film was really wonderful! I am really gonna miss seeing your films in the Producers Shows!
NICE. (Be sure to tell us when it's online in some more accessible form, so I can show it to my folks.^__^)
Awesome post Ian. Sucks about the festival rules. What about last years's film? The one following the Tree Herder. Can that be found online anywhere?
Anyway, keep up the good work and great posts. Congrats on the festival!
Thanks everyone.
Moro - the film is in my public folder if you want to burn a copy.
Brian B - Icarus was my second year film and I didn't make a film my third year. Second Wind is my fourth year film.
these are really great, the look of the film looks really really good.cant wait to see the film.

Ian, well what can i say that i haven't already, your film was amazing and its going to be very difficult to get close to that in three more years, the only hope is we get close. Thanks for the post great stuff.

( from a second year guy.
and- I used to use English name, ian, when I was freshman. haha )
Hello there, Ian. This is Benett of 3rd year. I just wanted to say I can never thank enough for your time on the workshop yesterday. It was very useful indeed. From now on, I shall keep my eyes on your blog. Congratulations on graduating, Ian.
Your film was really beautiful and professional!
And these pages are awesome to look at, thanks for posting!
So what's this workshop I hear about? Instructing students in the earlier years to be LAME?
BAM!
Still can't wait to see it dude.
jesus! you´re grat!
You kick ass, Ian!
Holy CRAP! I heard your film is amazing from some friends who got to make it out to the open show! I must see it, cause these images are Great!! (As was your last film!)
I came across "Icarus and the Tree Herder" by chance on YouTube. I'd actually been looking at Japanese, Russian and Hungarian animations. It is an amazing piece of work coupled with brilliant music. Look forward to more!
I know the story of Icarus and all that, but is your animation an interpretation of that legend or is there another meaning? (Or do I simply interpret it as I see fit?)
Thanks Antony. Icarus & the Tree Herder had a little of the original myth in it. The two characters, Icarus and the minotaur, are the only ties. When I began development I had the labyrinth and Daedalus, but then my imagination took over and the story started to evolve on its own. It doesn't have any meaning other than what you see on the surface.
Thanks Ian for the explanation. I had just wondered. Cheers and good luck.
Wow! These images are beatiful; I cant wait to see the film
your film turned out wonderfully. it was such a great ending to the Producer's Show.
Amazing...
great designs!
Thanks everyone.
thanks for the huge post of inspiring art. I really enjoyed Icarus and the tree herder.
this looks great. what program did u use?
Anonymous: I used the drawing on paper program.
what i mean is, what program did you compile it in.
Dude, your film was so awesome.
it was compiled in good ole photoshop
you are awesome Steve.
when will we be able to see it?
Really great works! when's the next update?
I want this cat as a friend!!!
beautiful sketches, love this!!!
compliments!
I saw your film in my class the other day as an example of awesomeness.. I'm really looking forward to seeing it again. its really symbolic.
Wow, you're a real good illustrator, I'm very curious about your animation!
I study media design in Milan, at NABA, so I study animation too, but I'm at the first year. My first real animation film is in this days...
I'll come back here! Sure!
Cheers!
P.S. I'm sorry for my wrost English...
Lovely work here! I really like the simplicity of the landscape sketches. They have a very Thiebaud feel to them.
I love your film!
wow gorgeous art here!
Hey! I watched Second Wind over and over again and I still can't get enough of it. You really do have a beautiful mind! And 10+ for the technical details!! And for the choice of music.
What programs did you use for the animation?
Sure hope to see more work from you soon!!
