If there's no rescue for this publication, it will indeed be a sad day for movie makers and the people learning those arts.

Thanks to Eric Trautmann for pointing this out.

I'm "hearing" some appalling things tonight about how it was handled. Many of which simply affirmed my sense that watching Republic of Doyle's latest installment instead - as is my normal Sunday night practice - was the best choice.

Then, I read this particular appalling thing:

That's just bloody rude, that kind of interruption. And the context makes it worse.

Speaking as someone who studied animation, who enjoys film and TV in a general sense, who appreciates the work that VFX houses do to make the stuff I watch that much more enjoyable. This was just Rude and Wrong.

And something troubles me now. It's this question: Should I have watched the Awards Show, at least to bear some kind of witness?

Seeing as strangemaps is on my friendlist feed, and alasdair was speaking of how and why he valued maps, it seemed a good moment to post this particular work in progress and training exercise...
