Stop-Motion Jonny Quest is BEST THING EVAR!

Jonny Quest Opening Titles from Roger D. Evans on Vimeo.

This little bit of wonderfulness from Roger D. Evans has been keeping me entertained since last week and even got me to go order the DVD set of the original show.

Film geeks like myself are going to want to check out his production diary. Apart from some effects like the sun and eye blinking, the entire intro is stop-motion animation using models.

Enjoy!

Back From Toronto: Tales of the Silver Snail!

I'm glad to be home from Toronto--not that I didn't like the trip--but it did feel like a long week because of work. I had one morning to roam the city (on foot) before my flight out and stumbled upon the Silver Snail on Queen Street, which was a great treat to find. The outside is covered in huge super hero murals!

The inside is filled with all kinds of goodness: comics, action figures (LOTS of figures) and the upstairs is stocked with games/RPGs. It leans more towards the comic fanboy than the gamer fanboy, but I'm equal parts, so it was a welcome discovery. And then there was this little lady guarding the comics....

Great fun!

Regular posting to resume shortly. :)
