So next week I am moving to San Francisco, California! I am sitting in a Starbucks in Vancouver right now. I think that Starbucks deliberately has a lot of hard wooden chairs to encourage patronage to tame the length of their visits. But it's more comfortable to sit on and have a table for my laptop than hunch over a cardboard box in my apartment. The shortlist of furniture that Steve and I have

John K has created a new couch gag sequence for the opening credits of The Simpsons. I love it. I found a nice online full version of it here, BUT! For some reason the vocals are missing!!!! Watch a crappy version where someone has filmed the sequence on their TV with a shaky camera with the vocal track here! It's good to watch both. I didn't get it at first without the sound.

So I've recently finished putting together my storyboard portfolio! Woo! I've put it online on my Behance site. Please check it out here! Creating the storyboards for my short film was fun, addictive and creatively satisfying. I would like to do some more storyboarding, in a professional environment.

One day this week I headed out to the snazzy cafeteria in a mall near my house with a big sketchbook to do some gesture drawing. I discovered that going at 4:30 in the evening was a dull time to draw there. It's ca-ray-see busy there on the weekends and much busier later in the evenings but at 4:30 on a Monday, no so much. I found a few interesting opportunities and finally settled on sketching

I've been very busy working on layouts and colour guides recently. I finally tweaked all the colours to my liking, they are final! And I am learning to maneuver around in Corel Painter which I recently purchased.Right now I want to plug the amazing Larra Skye, indie Canadian jazz singer/songwriter.

Here are some photos of my first 2 weeks in Sydney, Australia! (They were taken from Nov 24 - Dec 2.) I've been pretty busy since arriving. I've been working on my film and doing lots of sketching during the day and wandering around with Steve on the weekends and we make tasty meals each evening. I'm trying to do lots of new things. Been getting lots of our new camera as well as some fun toy

Mike Dolan commented on the Character Design Blog that “those CGMW guys have balls selling this (workshop) for $25!” I kind of agree... It was great to watch Nicolas Marlet do his thing but it was hardly a workshop on character design. It was a video of Nicolas sketching out and beautifying an illustration. No dialogue. Either way, I took notes throughout the video and took some photos and video

My mom is a fabulous cook. For real. She loves to bake and cakes must be her favorite thing. She runs a small (and growing) business selling cakes to ravenous clients with impeccable taste. She has been writing more blog posts than usual recently and one of her recent posts inspired me to write one of my own on baking! I myself am a magical wizzard of baking. Recently I made a couple of delicious

Not much to report except promise of future posts... I've been working a lot recently, making as much extra $ as I can before my sabbatical. I've been doing everything I can, pre-production wise to ramp up for my short film, Pickled. I'll continue to document the making-of over at the production blog for it. I really need to make a new graphic image for the title there... (I think I thought

Here is my final entry to the walk contest held over at Spline Doctors! I didn't have time to finish the cleanup, and I don't really feel bad about that... Dirty laundry animation is the coolest. Vimeo is also very cool. Great place to post HD videos.Confident 70's Walk from Andrea Haid on Vimeo.

I saw Waking Sleeping Beauty when Don Hahn and Peter Schneider came to The Toronto International Film Fest this past September to promote it. Don came to Sheridan College that week as well to give a lecture which was so inspiring. Even got him to sign my copy of Drawn to Life Vol. 1! Geeking out here. The film is a must see. It's very inspiring and emotional. It's a look behind the public face of

This little part of my animation has been the most difficult part for me. It's not actually done yet, (you can see that the third last drawing is unfinished and doesn't follow the arcs properly). On my first pass I was finding this bit of action technically difficult. Then after thinking about it some more and retiming, it was more emotionally difficult. I don't have a director to ask 'what would

Ideas can come from anywhere... A storyteller or idea person must have their radar on and be open minded at all times. Having a notepad or sketchbook on your person is such a good idea. (I have a sketchbook and a notepad at work, a mini sketchpad in my bag at all times in case the opportunity to do some gesture drawing arises or an idea pops up and sketchbooks and oodles of paper at home.)

Vday this year for the hubby and me was very relaxingly spent at home. We made a meal together, a puff pastry crust 'pizza-tart' topped with salmon, anchovies, olive paste, black olives, thyme and sautéed onions. We got the recipe from a great cookbook, One Pot French by Jean-Pierre Challet, given to me by the delicious chef that is chez catherine.After dinner we snacked on strawberries and

I scrapped the beginning I had before... Pooh was already in the shot and in mid action - but to get that to read I was holding on this 'mid action' pose for a good amount of time and it was bad/unclear. Now I've got him walking into that first bit of action and it is much better. It's important to think about where your character is coming from and going to... How does the character enter the

My mom, stepdad and sister are enjoying their second last day in sunny Florida right now! I like to think about the sand and sun they are enjoying as we have none of that around here. Hopefully I get at least a postcard and maybe some wooden parrot earrings out of the deal. Here are some snaps of their fun times:

I bought a mini 3 x 5" sketchpad and a couple of nice blue pens the other day so I can take them on the streetcar and sketch people. Sometimes the big sketchpad feels awkward to carry around and sketch people in while in such a public place. Though I would like to take it to some cafes or other non public transit places soon enough. I want to do a lot more life sketching.Seems everytime I go to

So, here it is again, my work in progress. 11 seconds is surprisingly a lot of space to mess around in... I'm thinking that the next time I post this, it will be done. I'm sad that I got sick in November, that didn't help me work on this animation much, neither did seeing Lady Gaga or The Toxic Avenger for Spence's b-day... This past weekend I went to yoga and hung out vintage shopping and

So... there is no way I will get my 11 second entry done on time. There are only 4 days left! I would like to finish it when the contest closes, but seeing how hardly along I am with it I don't think it even makes sense to submit it... It's pretty tough to critique it at this point... Just been busy with work and this past weekend I got sick which wasn't very productive. Today I was reading some

Here's my entry again, with a few more inbetweens... I get a better feel for what it will look like here but it's still pretty sparse. I've been trying to figure out spacing. Trying to animate as if I could pass this off to an inbetween artist or cleanup artist and it be straightforward enough. Finding much information on spacing is tricky! Surprising since it is so critical. The animation

I'm too busy to write a whole lot right now but I finally got all eight main keys done for my 11 second entry! And it's halfway through the month! And I only have 261 drawings left to go!! Ugh.

I stumbled across this image in a flickrpool and I love it... It's a mural on a building outside in Toronto, at the Redpath Sugar Distributer on Queens Quay... Near or on Jarvis and Queens Quay. I want to find more outdoor building paintings, especially in Toronto since I live here and I could easily go check them out, but anywhere really is cool...

it's a work in progress...also, I have two stellar animators doing some animation for me!!! Katie Shanahan and Sean Bartlett both graciously agreed to help me out. They are saving my face from many stress zits. Plus I know they'll make my short look delicious.I plan to get my short in the mail on Thursday the 8th. Then I'll probably be taking a bit of time away from the blog but next chance

I don't really have time to clean this up right now, and since it's just me drawing up the key poses it's unnecessary. I have a roatation done for each character in the lineup. I was impressed with myself when I got all four rotations done in one Saturday... Sunday was the day to do my bg's but I got a massive migraine that day and had to settle for some leica tweaking in the morning and then 19

This evening I saw Waking Sleeping Beauty, (review by Animation Magazine) a documentary by Don Hahn about the era from 1984-1994 at Disney. The film is quite honest and was so inspirational for me. Being in the theater, there was that magic- I was remembering my own childhood experiences of seeing Disney flicks on the big screen. I think I really feel at home, in the theater. The animators are

This is Danny starting her childish galumph down some stairs, salmon replacing stairs for now. It's low res and just a test of two drawings to see if I'd like the look before investing a lot of time in it.

I'm too busy to write a big post, but the film is coming along nicely! Got a leica done, all my character designs and rough backgrounds. I ended up finding some really cool voices but ended up chopping the film waaay short due to time restrictions and so there's no more dialoge. I kinda like it that way anyway. Show it don't say it.I found a pretty fun piece of music for this film, it's got a

I've started to find some interesting voices... I'm finding lots online but have had no response through my blog shoutout. Thought I'd give it a try and was a little wary of the Craigslist route. Just want some professionals and didn't know what I'd get with Craigslist...So I have to get cracking on design, boards, leica, animation now...... I'd sure love to get some help, but it's tricky finding

I am starting to work on a short film and need two voice actors, someone to voice an elderly woman and a young boy. (Grandmother and grandson). I have a small budget and there are very few lines. 3-4 lines per voice. I need some voices with sincerity and warmth. I'm hoping to get these lines recorded soon, hopefully by September 7th at the latest (Labor Day). I'm located in Toronto so you must be

Well, it's been awhile, nearly 3 months since the last post. Since I last posted I turned 26, got married, went on my honeymoon, found a new apartment (will be moving in on August 1st) and started animating on a new show. Whew! I now animate on Total Drama the Musical (season 3 of the Total Drama series) at Elliott Animation. The wedding was perfection in my mind, I was very happy. It's lovely to

On it's opening weekend I saw Coraline and this past Sunday I saw Watchmen. Been a bit too busy to post about either one. Coraline is gorgeous. It's hard to think of too much else to say.... It was just stunning. I loved the animation, the design, the sets... My jaw dropped when all those mice started a choreographed dance in the other world... I noticed the lighting and little details in the

ohh... so many lovely animation blogs to visit that I haven't had time for.... Wedding planning is winding down a bit but work is steady... I'm working on the super special 6teen interstitials now that the show has wrapped up. They are so refreshing and I've been taking my time with them... I forgot about some revisions I had due yesterday until I checked my work e-mail around 5:30pm... So I had

Well, planning my wedding has taken up every bit of my spare time recently... and sometimes I'm distracted at work by planning too... surfing around online looking at flowers and garter belts...The flowers have been figured out, garter belt and guest book with pen set purchased, deposit sent to the photographer and personalised, self-designed stamps and postcards are printing...

Well, blogging has not been a priority for me for awhile now. Been super busy at work and I'm busy planning the wedding with Stephen in my spare time. I'm making blogging a bit more of a priority though... I have a new blog! It's Pickled Perfection, a blog documenting the making of a short film that I'm working on.

Has anyone else been listening to any animation podcasts? A couple days ago I didn't really know what a podcast was but now I am HOOKED! They are so cool. I've found The Animation Podcast and in one I was (re) listening yesterday, Clay mentions a few other animation podcast creators, (Spline Doctors, Animation Conversation, Toon In, Conversation on Animation) and now that I do a quick online

I brought my camera along with me all yesterday but apparently Steve took the memory card out of it and forgot to put it back in so I was unable to take photos of wicked costumes and party fun at KT and Gerry's! Hopefully I can grab some photos of such good time from them soon. I dressed up as a 20's flapper and Steve went 80's glam rock complete with way too tight print pants and tight sparkly

It's Animation Day today! The NFB is offering up two streaming shorts online for free as well as events through cities across Canada. Toronto's events can be seen here.In other news, I love pop stars/pop music. When I'm 50 I'll still be listening to it. I just watched Katy Perry's Hot n' Cold video and Lady Gaga's Poker Face.

The Biggest reason I haven't been blogging much recently is this:A shirt and tie I made for Stephen for his birthday took me all the spare time I had for a month to finish. All while keeping it secret! I also put together a surprise b-day party for him at Alice Fazooli's and made him a lemon merange pie at home in place of a birthday cake. He likes his new shirt. I've been too busy to clean too

Today it felt like the seasons were reversing and we're moving back into winter... Very cold in Toronto today. Here is a picture of the lovely flowers Steve picked up for me the other day:I found a video about stuff, and anti-consumerism... You need to watch it!!!! It's called The Story of Stuff and you can watch it HERE. This little film is sums up very nicely pretty much how I feel about our

Still busy as bloody hell, but I'm scoping out some freelance animation work and so I've put a recent demo reel up on my professional art blog; http://sugar-bean.blogspot.com/.Congrats Dan on getting that bursary to study French in Quebec and on graduating!!! Hopefully I can make a trip to catch up with you sometime soon.Happy Birthday Wayne! Sorry I can't make it to you par-tee... :( You still

Check out my updated Demo Reel! I can't put Grossology on it just yet, but I've added some Atomic Betty and Iggy Arbuckle clips. (All wicked shows that were awesome to work on!)I've also posted my updated resume. There are a couple new images here as well, the painting I recently finished and the the cover I designed for my demo reel case.Please look through my archives to check out more artwork!

Hallo, I know I've been absent from my blog, I've got stories to tell and things to say... but not much time to write them down. My days are 12 hour days now, no longer carpooling. I commute by foot/GoTrain/bus which is an hour and a half each way. I just had my skirt sewing class this past Wednesday evening, went to The Ryerson Graduating Fashion show on Tuesday (Mass Exodus: Paramnesia) last

I remembered that I never posted a picture of my still life finished... It's been finished for awhile now and I even got a new USB cable to upload photos from my camera to my computer since I STILL can't find my old one... And now I've lost my pencil case... Anyway, no more crappy cel phone pics :)

updating the blog from work... bad! oh well. Horton Hears a Who was fabulous! It was funny, charming, warm, fresh feeling, mature and be-u-teeful! However it had a couple baaad sequences, the 2D anime thing and the song sequence at the end. Those sequences did NOT fit in and were in bad taste... Other than that it was such a great movie! I'm happy. The characters were believable too, I really

hey, sorry for the lack of entries as of recent. Been super busy, good busy, getting stuff done, working hard... Going wedding gown shopping... Going to the 'loo this weekend to try on a gown actually. I've updated my other blog (http://fashion-matter.blogspot.com/) a whole bunch since I started it, I spent a day at L'Oreal Fashion week and I've been going to sewing lessons, reading, celebrating

Here are the zippered pouches I made last Saturday at sewing class:The lining is a cute fabric with a print of wooden Russian dolls on it, you know the kind you open up and there's a smaller doll inside and you can open up 10 or so until you get to the smallest one?I wish I could post pictures of me in wedding gowns that I've tried on... but of course I can't since Stephen checks my blog...

Caught up with my old friend Wayne today over bubble tea and snacks at Bubble Tease in Waterloo. Our classic hangout. Here are the yummy steamed buns we ate before we ate them:two types of taro and one multigrain bun with taro and cinnamin dipping sauce, YUM!On Friday at Sheridan I saw Dave Moffat in the cafeteria and I gave him a big hug- I think he was kinda surprised. Was good to see him

Internet still working!I've created a new blog about my adventures in fashion! I call it Fashion Matter. Just wanted to keep it separate from my animation/personal one, so if I'm not updating this one as often, you can get your Andrea fix over there.Check it out:http://fashion-matter.blogspot.com/And here's a silly pic Steve took of me on V-Day...

Sadly I don't have any pictures to post just right now, my internet service is sketchy at best and I'm taking the window of opportunity to post a little update while it's working. I finished my painting finally, so I have my living room back! Although I think I went a little too far on the background (in the painting) so I might end up going back one last time to lighten that up. Then I can take

Today was my first day back to work! I got up soooo early and was half an hour early for the Go train. And it was bloody cold outside! Especially with my little running shoes! Anyway I made it to Pipeline and met a bunch of new people, watched some cartoons (Grossology! see: http://www.ytv.com/programming/shows/grossology/) So for the rest of the week I'll be hardcore training on Harmony at

Well my internet connection is down again... It hasn't been working for days. So I'm in the public library again to check my mail. Also, I can't find the cable to import photos from my camera to my computer!! I have a still life in progress at home that I wanted to post a photo of, so I took a photo with my cel phone. Therefore, crummy photo quality. It's something at least...So here it is, a

My internet connection has been inoperable for some time now, and with a long visit to P.E.I. and then The Loo, blogging has not been a possibility for some time. But I'm back!I've decided to become a vegan.... It's a little bit hard to cut so many nice tasting things out of your diet and manage meals at home sometimes, but ultimately, I'm very excited and happy to be vegan and I'm feeling good.

WOW, since I'll be havin' a lot of scannin' to do for the next while, decided to give my old scanner a shot. It's been broken for like a year, last Christmas it crapped out and wouldn't let me scan hand painted X-mas card.... But- miraculously- somehow- today it worked!!! I was able to scan a huge BG that I worked on while in the V-Dot and now I should be able to scan animation as I finish it!!

Wow, I almost forgot about this thing... I'm back in Toronto now, unemployed until January when I start my new job at Pipeline Studios in Oakville. So it's quite relaxing to have so much time, I'm still busy but at least I can get stuff done instead of crazily scheduling it into my non-work hours..... I've been doing a lot of cleaning and wedding planning, got my X-mas shopping done and scored

Hey everyone! I'm back in Toronto, ready to plan my wedding and go X-mas shopping and see all my friends! My flight home was easy and relaxing, no screaming babies or seat kicking. Each of my pieces of checked baggage were right around 54 pounds, the limit is 60 so I brought back lots of junk and didn't have to pay any fees. I'm all excited to see my family at X-mas this year, and tonight I'm

Been very busy, working like mad for weeks.... Tomorrow's my last (official) day at work at Atomic, though I'm sure I'll be putting in time on Saturday as well.... I'm on my last scene but it's 15 seconds long.... Anyway, my flight is on Wednesday bright n' early and I'm super excited to come back home... I know I'll miss Vancouver too though... Right now it's a bit overshadowed by the excitement

I've been meaning to post since Halloween but I'm waiting for Halloween pics.... I ended up doing a last minute costume and went as Marge Simpson. I love her... I went dancing at The Modern with Caesar and it was good times. The DJ's who played were probably my favourite that I've heard in Vancouver, awesome stuff.Well, hopefully I get those pics soon! I don't think my costume was very true to

I am finding the idea of planning a wedding to be almost as insane as my current roomate. I've got a killer headache this weekend so I'm cooped up in the apartment deciding whether to watch more music videos on youtube, look at wedding gowns online, to take another nap, to eat or do some work... It's kinda been me bouncing back and forth from these options since Friday, I ended up taking Friday

hey y'all, sorry for the lack of posts recently. I'm pretty busy these days and being engaged is a big distraction- I'm constantly planning in my head and thinking about it all - watching damn wedding tv on the knot.com, the budget, the to do list, when, where, most importantly my dress.... Most girls want a special wedding dress, but I'm extra obsessive, I love dresses and dressing up in general

I held off on this update simply because my mom asked me to, so she could tell our relatives that I'M ENGAGED!!!My future husband!(just call him fabio) Stephen just visited me over the weekend in Vancouver. We tried on a lot of hats and glasses. I have been trying to get Stephen to appreciate hats, I found one super sexy one but it was way too small. We saw a 3D movie at an Imax theater and I
