"Rupert"
Airdate TBA
Featuring "Rupert," "The Brief Social Life of Charles Wickham," "Herman & Sally," and "Gestures" with guests Donald Mustard and faculty hosts Brent Adams and Kelly Loosli.
BYU faculty members Brent Adams and Kelly Loosli discuss early award-winning animations from the mid to late 90's that garnered enough attention to help their program evolve and ultimately develop into the recently created BYU Animation Center. "The Brief Social Life of Charles Wickham" won a student emmy, and many from its student crew went on to work on "Rupert," which largely helped establish the collaborative methods used in the department today. "Herman & Sally" is a uniquely ambitious cell drawing short, as it was a combined BFA project between the directors.

I just got done watching Gestures on BYU TV. Wow. What a wonderful revisioning of conversion, temptation, and repentance. If this is only the first half, I can't wait for the rest.
