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.
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.

And Fergal’s double life.

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).
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.
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.
