Wow, it’s been almost a month since the last update. I wish I could have an excuse and say a lot has been going on, but the truth is, it really hasn’t. I’m still unemployed, but freelancing, which doesn’t exactly pay the bills, but also helps me stay sane. On a positive note, I have been working on personal projects (mainly on my comic “Hockey, Love, & GUTS!” but I’ll leave the talk about that on my next post) most of which are too personal to discuss here… for now. But, here’s what I can discuss: I’m making new friends and seeing old friends again, and that in and of itself is enough to say thanks to. So here are a few sketches of real and imaginary people, and I’ll let you decide which is which… 😉

Reminiscing on "Her Lion's Jump"

So a while ago a film critic sent me an email interview about my film which screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF 2009), but it’s been almost a month since and I haven’t heard from him and chances are, that interview won’t be published. But, I figured I own the copyright to my answers to his questions, so I’ll omit the questions, and you can figure out what the question was. I feel it’s a pretty good collection of thoughts about “Her Lion’s Jump” and I had a good time positively reminiscing about my work to someone else… so see it here and then scroll down to learn more about the film:

Her Lion’s Jump from Régis Camargo on Vimeo.

It’s been a while, I know, but sometimes I have a love/hate relationship with technology that prevents me from posting more often. So, what is this post about? Basically it’s just to let you know that now all my films are available for viewing online. Just check out the vodpod widget on the sidebar and click on a thumbnail. A window will pop up and you can see it right here, without having to necessarily go to youtube. Cool, eh? Now, “Her Lion’s Jump” and my Animation Reel are up on Vimeo too here http://vimeo.com/reggaenights. So that’s the love part.

It’s been a few months since his passing, and Yoshinori Kanada’s animation still influences me greatly. It’s a pity that I only really found out about his work in the last few years, but it obviously reached my sight and mind many years ago without my full awareness. But I guess art works in this transcendental way in which we tend to experience an artist’s work sometimes vicariously through another, or it just happens to exist in the world sometimes lasting generations, so ingrained in our culture, that it surpasses its original purpose. To many, Kanada’s animation is just that, and I’m very happy to have learned about his work, and I continuously keep searching for it.
