If you know me a little bit you probably know that I’m a big fan of animation.  I usually look through quite a bit of other people’s animation work for inspiration on my own projects as a motion graphics designer.  I recently stumbled across an animated short film, Alma, which has some really impressive character animation.  I even thought the animation was at the caliber of being good enough for Pixar’s standards.  I did a little bit more investigating on this film and discovered that it was actually created by a Pixar animator (Rodrigo Blaas) who had took some time off from the studio for a bit to focus on Alma.  The story is a little creepy, but I think the animation is beautiful.  I hope you enjoy it.

Preproduction is underway for the Orlando Citrus Parade broadcast. For the

second year in a row, The Crawford Group has the opportunity

to work with Florida Citrus Sports to produce this international TV special

that last year cleared 15 of the top 20 TV markets and was

viewed by about 2.15 million people.

The parade itself will take place Wednesday, December

30th at 10:00 a.m. in downtown Orlando. The Crawford Group will shoot the

two-hour parade, edit content down to one-hour, color-correct and mix the

audio for national broadcast on New Year’s Day.

This is our favorite project because of the live event excitement, quick

turnaround, and, well, we love citrus…especially on parade! We look

forward to relaxing to watch the finished product with

our families and friends.
