I just received a note from some people I worked with while I was in Africa in 2002. Their son Jon was 6 at the time and I taught him how to make animated flipbooks. Apparently, the animation bug bit him hard. I personally think the timing and creative use of the frame in this piece (done a few years ago when he was 12) makes this an exciting and stimulating few minutes of animation. Alas, I can't take much credit for his brilliance, but at least I started him down the road!

At long last, "Conversing with Aotearoa/New Zealand" is officially out on dvd. And not only do you get a copy of this great documentary on the kiwi wilderness experience, you get 12 other films from around the world as well!
