After a while without news here there's time for an update. :)

I'm currently in a production of an animated video clip for a the band Black Drawing Chalks, and I'm pretty busy with it. It will have a mix of 2D and 3D animation, and everything is looking pretty sweet by now. :D

Exactly a week ago I went to the première of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinossaurs in 3-D. Besides some bad critics I've read, I found it to be much better than the second film of this franchise. The animation - as usual for Blue Sky crew - is fantastic, and I also found the the story stronger than The Meltdown. In addition to that, I think the new character - Buck - is one of the best of the three movies.

Another news from the Blue Sky Studios is their new movie, also directed by Brazilian Carlos Saldanha. It's a story of a Brazilian bird that suddenly have to live outside its cage, in Rio de Janeiro. I found it pretty cool, and you can read the press release on the studio's website and this article in Portuguese.

And there's more: I've seen two neat trailers for upcoming animations this year. First comes Sony's Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs:

And from the Spanish Ilion Studios, bringing the second trailer for Planet 51:

We still have some pretty cool movies this year, huh? ;)
