Doodle Things

Really really honored to have done the Google Doodle today for one of my animation heroes Lotte Reiniger! She made the oldest surviving feature length animation, and created the predecessor to the multiplane camera, predating disney. Her films still hold up as extremely beautiful and witty fairy tales.

I’m really thankful to my team, who trusted me when I said I was going to build my own rig and puppets and film a 90 second short in a few months. 

My downfall always seems to turn everything into Ghibli form. 

“The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences on Tuesday announced that Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima will become the 21st inductee to the organization’s Hall of Fame. He will accept the award in person during a ceremony at the 19th D.I.C.E. Awards in Las Vegas on February 18.

‘Hideo Kojima’s career-defining works have shaped much of how the video game industry approaches cinematic storytelling and player engagement,’ AIAS president Martin Rae said in a statement. 'As one of the most well-loved and well-respected designers of our time, it is a great honor for the Academy to induct him into our Hall of Fame. Hideo is a game creator whose eyes havealways looked towards the future, and we look forward to his thoughts on the D.I.C.E. Summit stage.’
