The Inventor is here

How hard is it to make an animated feature film? A short film about Leonardo DaVinci that you have expanded into a feature. You have a successful Kickstarter campaign and a cast of well known actors, Stephen Fry, Daisy Ridley, Marion Cotillard, Gauthlier Barttoue and Matt Berry to do the voices.

Now add making an animated feature film during Covid, outside the US and when you finish the film, your voice actors can't promote it due to the current Actor/Writer strike that is going on.

Below is an interview with Jim Capobianco just before the Kickstarter campaign began.

A trailer came out in August promoting the release date as August 23, which was actually pushed back to September 15th. Unfortunately, new release date trailers were not available to send out to movie theatres nationwide.

Here's a trailer which was created to show investors what the animation would look like.

I recently contacted Capobianco to find out what happened during the making of the film and where we can see the film and when. BTW Bluefox Entertainment has this link to let you know where the film is playing near you. https://www.bluefoxentertainment.com/films/the-inventor

Kat Alioshin, Stop Motion Producer

 

Kat Alioshin likes playing with dolls, very expensive dolls. The ones that can come to life and perform in films like Nightmare before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, Corpse Bride and Monkeybone; just to name a few.

But before she was a stop motion producer, she helped two interesting guys named Spike and Mike run their Festival of Animation screenings. She often sold tickets to the shows and then would watch the films that were being shown and also met a lot of beginning animators like, Wallace and Gromit creator, Nick Park!

She has recently created a new documentary about Spike and Mike's adventures called "Animation Outlaws". Full of clips for many of today's Animators and Directors who got their student films into the festival and started their careers in animation.

A lot of students of animation back in the late 80's got to see other animation films from all over the world whenever Spike and Mike's show would come to their towns. Many times, featured Animators were introduced to the audience and suddenly were treated like Rockstars after the audiences had enjoyed their work shown on a big theatre movie screen. Some even got to sign their printed flyers or T-shirts featuring a character from their latest animation film.

I got to meet Marv "Bambi meets Godzilla" Newland, got him to sign one of his T-Shirts which I still have, but cannot fit into. I also supported the Festival by purchasing their official Festival of Animation shirt when I visited LA one year.

This was before YouTube, back when it was a real event to see a variety of independent animated films on the big screen at your local independent movie theater or college campus.

So please enjoy the interview below about Kat Alioshin's film "Animated Outlaws" as well as learning more about her involvement with The We Know Jack podcast. A podcast filled with stories and interviews with the artists who worked on the Nightmare before Christmas.

The Inventor begins

Creating a film is no easy task and Jim Capobianco should know this after working on his first 2d animation short, Leonardo. The film follows a cartoon version of Leonard Da Vinci and uses music from the era which Da Vinci may have heard during his life.

A Kickstarter campaign has begun to help fund a new feature film called "The Inventor" about Leonardo traveling to and living out the rest of his life in France. If you are interested about learning more about this project, please watch this recent interview which Jim Capobianco.
