In November Brisbane animators were lucky enough to have Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist screen at the Brisbane International Film Festival. "A small, hand-crafted masterpiece." (Xan Brooks, The Guardian UK - click the link - Is 2D hand-drawn animation a dying art?)
A number of animators had been posting about the film with associated video clips (Michelle, Will). Cassie organised a sketchcrawl to the screening where Zade, Jack, Rachel, Cassie and I settled in to a wonderful animation film experience.
It was great to see animators, who I have met and by whom I had been tutored, named in the film credits.

After the film, Rachel pointed me to Lian-Cho's blog where he posted some of his pencil tests (below). Thanks Rachel.

Hey Frank,
Nice post - I love seeing line tests like this. This looks like it would've been insanely challenging to animate.
I definitely have to see this film!
Hi Corey. I think it may have been nominated for an Academy Award for 2011?
