A brief glimpse into my sketchbook for an idea that unfortunately might not get very far. Ahh well.

The Galway Film Fleadh Launch
June 23rd, 2010 | Posted in Blog, Miscellaneous Tit Bits | 1 CommentTags: chit chat, galway film fleadh, images, Miss Remarkable, staff photos
Last evening we took some time to socialise outside the studio. It was the launch of the 22nd Galway Film Fleadh and we went along to enjoy some wine and samosas.
The highlights of the up coming programme include Toy Story 3, The Illusionist and of course Miss Remarkable and her Career.
From Desktop to the Internet

Here is a design thats being sitting on my desktop for quite sometime. The original drawing is by our good buddy Tom Caulfield, who is living it up over in Paris at the moment. I had great fun playing with the textures in Art Rage and Photoshop. I must take a break from series animation more often.
In Their Spare Time

It has recently come to light that our animators have a life outside of work. Always a good thing I suppose and to keep themselves amused in the spare time some have been working away on blogs and twitters alike. All are worth a look see and a follow.
Sophia has been working hard maintaining 2 blogs

Mark equally hard with his site

Donal is not much of a twitter-er but he does have his blog.

the 12 min team
June 2nd, 2010 | Posted in Blog, In Motion, Miscellaneous Tit Bits, Projects | No CommentsTags: chit chat, images, photos, staff photos
We have been rather quiet on the blog of late, with one good reason, a tv project we have been working on since December 2009. But the time has come to pay homage to the small tight crew that have done all has been asked of them. Although you can not tell by their faces the crew pictured above are responsible for producing 12 mins of animation every single week. A great achievement deserving of some silverware (even if we found it lying around the studio).
So I would like to thank (back row, left to right) Donal, Me (although no need to thank myself), Lorraine, Don, John, Brian & Michael, (front row, left to right) Fergal, Sophia, Mark & Alice (not pictured).
Fergal’s Back

It’s been a couple great weeks here in A Man & Ink and to top it off there was the arrival back from college of Fergal, who worked with us on The Variety Show last year. He seems to be getting on well back in the animation industry, fitting in with the other animators.
So Much Has Happened…

It’s been quite a while since our last update and so much has happen since then, some we can tell you about and some is so top secret. But one of the biggest thing was a trip to Los Angeles for The Oscars.
The small feature film “The Secret of Kells” which both myself and Lorraine worked on was nominated for an oscar. Sadly we didn’t win but a great trip and day out in the sun was had by all participants.

It is absolutely chucking it down outside and as the rain pours I shall make an effort to make us all jealous. It’s a special post to welcome the wandering Lorraine who has returned from her sabbatical with plenty of photos and to show us all, the photo tour of India is planned for Tuesday, so to spread the jealousy out among us all, here are a very small selection of photos from 1 or 2 of the 12 countries she visited.
Ship Ahoy
September 27th, 2009 | Posted in Miscellaneous Tit Bits | 1 CommentTags: chit chat, photos
Hollywood has arrived in Galway, well maybe just a very small part. For the last week or so the ship, call the “Bounty”, that was used in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and according to Wikipedia a couple of other films, one or two that are not really for a family audience, has been docked ousite Sheirdans pub.
Fergal @ work

Please meet Mr Fergal Brennan who is now graduating from a couple of months of A Man & Ink as he is heading back to college to his 3rd year of animation in IADT in Dublin. It has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions, splashing through the Galway Film Feastival, on to Miss Remarkable and The Variety Show, stopping off at Anime Studio Pro and Final Cut Studio lessons and on to production management and tracking methods. I think his head may be filled to the brim. Although my proudest moment is that he is leaving us with a 167 zombie kill score, (but then again that is unconfirmed).
And there is one thing I wonder about, will he ever get used to one screen computers ever again?
Good Luck to Fergal.
