Great, I've seen some of those films at our animation film festival this year.
Fatntastic to see MRE featured along with them. A good sign for Machinima and a well
deserved honour for your work. Can't wait to read through the book.
Very, very cool, congrats!!
Now, this is something. You deserve it, Phil. Congrats.
Take a look a "Madame TutliPutli", it is unbelievable. Eyes of character a real footage of human eyes motion tracked and then rotoscoped on model. Amazing stuff.
Look forward to looking through these films & congratulations Phil!
Congratulations, Phil. This is great news. I'll definitely put in an order for this book. I only know Run Wrake's work, so it will be a treat to discover so many animators. Andrew Selby is a smart guy to include your work and work process. Yay!
Phil,
You certainly deserve this honor. Not only aa a filmmaker, but also as an ardent supporter of Machinima.
Congratulations Phil. This is too cool!
