The story reel (animatic) -

The Monkey and the Elephant by Boris Maras

The Monkey and the Elephant by Boris Maras, Sheridan College 2010.

He animated this in 2 months.





From Boris Maras's blog:

"Keeping my film rough was a big decision. Amanda and I were both considering cleaning up and colouring our films, but we would have had to rush the animation so much and we really wanted to learn as much as we could about animation. Keeping them this way, I think we learned a lot about our limits and we have a way better idea for how approach a short film now.
The idea for my film was pretty different up until February, the characters were pretty much the same but the situation they were in was different. It was risky because I had to throw away the animation I had already done and around 25-30 layouts, but I think I made the right decision for what I want to pursue.

I started animating around the middle of February and animated up until our deadline of April 19th. It was the craziest 2 months of my life but I'm really happy with the amount that I learned during the process of making my film and hope I can make another one soon."

"Charade" by Jon Minnis

"Charade" by Jon Minnis, made at Sheridan College , International Summer School of Animation.

This film was entirely animated and colored (with Pantone markers on paper) by Jon Minnis during a single summer term (3 months) at Sheridan College. Jon had some help on the coloring, but did all the animation himself.

This film is a great example of very careful planning and an elegant minimalism which allowed a 4-and-half minute film to be completed almost single-handedly by a student working to a very tight deadline. Jon Minnis spent about 4 months prior to starting animation polishing his script and doing a very tight well-developed storyboard/animatic , so that when he started animating he was able to hit the ground running and get the entire film animated in 3 months.



The original was completed and shot on 16 mm film at Sheridan College in the summer of 1984. When Jon Minnis was hired soon after graduation by Michael Mills Productions in Montreal he was able to re-shoot all the artwork from the film on 35mm courtesy of his employer Michael Mills (hence the credit before the title: "Michael Mills Productions presents"). The film had a theatrical run in Canada and in the United States . "Charade was nominated for and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1985. It also won the Genie Award (the Canadian Oscars) for "Best Theatrical Short Film" in 1985.
