Madagascar

Today, I finally went in cinema to watch the Mad. I managed to find some time back from September 8th when it started showing here in Belgrade.

After more than four months of being completely in the world character animation cause of AM, it was interresting for me to watch an animated feature from this perspective. "Wait, wait, how they will do overlapping on the Melman's neck (when it's so stiff)?... Wow, aaawesome." etc. It's one fine and funny piece of movie that's full of study material for animators. ;)

After the film has ended, I stayed alone in the empty hall waiting to see the animation credits and I was waiting and waiting... and was waiting a load of time to see a list of animators on an animated feature. And than it rolled up. :) The list was huge and unfortunately I didn't manage to find Jason Schleifer, one of my animation superstars. :( Yet, there I catched Ethan Hurd! Ha-haaa!

Still there was one more name I was eagerly waiting for to see it. Aaaand than... Section 'Additional animation' appeared and guess who was the first on the list?? My fiiirst mentor Bill Diaz!!! Some very strong and strange feeling of happiness overhelmed me. huhh I was totally blown off so I kept smiling all the way home. :)
