Sighted Sites
- Before getting to my business at hand, let me point to an article in Animation Magazine which confirms the call made in last week’s NYTimes story about cg animation. Dreamworks has definitely separated from their three picture deal with Aardman. After pushing Aardman to do their next film, Flushed Away, in cg, after making constant changes to the script and film, Dreamworks left the clay-animation company out in the rain. They removed the Aardman from Aardman.
- Now, for something less serious: I’ve been catching up with some entertaining site browsing, and I came 
upon some interesting bits and pieces with a lot of photos.
