Wow! Its been a while since my last post! In case anyone really reads this blog, I apoligize. I thought it would be easier for me to post but finishing animation on Ice age 3 and getting back to family life ate up all my time:) Animation for Ice Age 3 wrapped up in April and now the finishing touches are being done before it opens on July 1st! I am really proud of this movie, everyone from vet to new dug in and did the best they could under another tight scheduale. I will go and say that its our best production and cant wait for everyone to see it:). As many of you know by now our next feature was anounce a couple of weeks ago! Its called “Rio” and its slated for a 2011 release.

Its a project that director Carlos Saldanha has been wanting to do for years and it will definitely push us creatively and technically into a new direction. Right now we are in pre-production learning tons about the characteristics of macaws (new world parrots) and defining our style for this feature. I’ll post more about it when more info is released. Thanks for reading and I’ll do a better job posting:)
