More Juxtapoz Riflings...


...Intel today announced the start of Mass Animation, the first collaborative, worldwide effort to produce a computer-generated animated short film for theatrical release...
Starting today, artists around the world are invited to animate the shots of a 5-minute, CGI-animated short film titled Live Music, which is produced and directed by Yair Landau, former president of Sony Pictures Digital. The collaboration, through a unique application built on the Facebook platform, will run through January 30th, 2009. Animators, regardless of experience, may begin work immediately, and community voting will open November 24th, 2008 at www.facebook.com/massanimation.
The film Live Music is inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and early CGI films...See Juxtapoz.com for more text on this project...
Fabio Napoleoni is the creator of Marcenivo, an illustrated “used up doll” character who travels around the planet with a heart in hand. Dripping with emotion and metaphor, this character serves as a representation for a time during which the artist’s baby daughter was fighting heart abnormalities and had to undergo numerous major heart operations...See Juxtapoz.com for the interview...
