Anymated Scrapbook from Tom Jantol on Vimeo.
Tom Jantol put together this exquisite video, narrated by Frank L. Fox, as the header for the reel showing at his MachinExpo exhibit. Based on this text that Tom and I put together a few years ago now, it introduces the viewer to the philosophy of Anymation. You can find this text in virtual book form at his exhibit or in the vending machine near the Expo entrance. This, and other exhibits, are open for the remainder of this week, so if you didn't get a chance to check out Tom's work, grab some popcorn and a friend and head over to the MachinExpo site in Second Life while you still can.

Thanks, Phil, for putting this movie here. With text and voice of such quality this movie was easy job.
To portrait versatility of Anymation philosophy I made movie mainly in non animation software "Scrapbook Factory Deluxe". But essential was magic of "CrazyTalk". I am definitely in love with "CrazyTalk"; every time I use CT, I cant stop smiling.
Look, even now when I am writing this: :)
Jesus. That was gorgeous.
Beautiful work, Tom. And thanks for posting this, Phil. I wish we could have actually scheduled an event at Tom's installation. I'm afraid it was lost a bit in the background of the other events along with Peter and Marque's installs. We'll definitely change this next year. Perhaps some sort of tour or something. Anyway, I loved this piece and Franks narration was perfect.
I took the chance to view the unscheduled exhibits outside of the festival, I suspect other visitors may have done the same. It was great to see so many avatars around from the moment the site opened.
