Dec 18: The Holiday’s Exposed (John Ryan)
If you like old school, gag animation, this piece is for you. John Ryan and his team at Dagnabit! expose those things you didn’t want to know about your favorite holiday characters.
Good luck getting a straight answer from John:
Interesting moment, fact or point of inspiration from your production:
We work with some world class illustrators like: Bob Staake, Yucel, Norm Bendell, Jimmy Holder, and Stephanie Powers to name-drop a few. We had always wanted to work with Bill Mayer and he pointed us to a series of illustrations he had done for a local agency for a holiday self promotion.
Most memorable Christmas moment:
Well, there was the time I asked for seconds of the gruel.
At the top of the Christmas list:
A nice heaping bowl of whirled peas.
#AdventAnimation is a daily showcase of holiday themed animation. If you are working on something with a touch of holiday cheer that will be released sometime between 1 December and Christmas Eve, drop me a note and I will put it into consideration.
