Sesame Street Animation Competition!

posted 4.20.10 at 12:00 am
 Since I've been in NY, I've had the privilege of getting to know freelance animator Brian Haimes.  We worked together briefly at So! Animation, and Brian is one of the nicest guys I've ever met.  After the work at So! was done, I went back to freelancing, as did Brian.  He then, among other cool jobs, did some time working with Sesame Workshop, and got to actually play with the real Muppets!  Super cool.

Brian has now entered an animation contest with Aniboom.com, whose first prize is to have their animation actually shown on Sesame Street!  (Who's not a fan of Sesame Street?!)
I don't know how he did all this, when he found time, computing power or patience, but his final contribution is just brilliant.  There's four catagories: Remakes of classic Sesame St. animations, school readiness skills, social skills, and numbers and letters skills.  See if you can guess what category this one's in:




I can't imagine that this was done by one guy.
Here's where you come in!  The judging is based on how many votes each animation gets.  If you like this cartoon, please go to Aniboom.com,  go through the short registration (grrr) and click to vote for Brian's video.  
Finalists are announced May 10th, and the Grand Prize is announced May 17th.  Please help out an awesome animator and vote.



just for fun, out about
