Bigfish's FEST

_
At the recent Melbourne International Animation Festival we had the pleasure of seeing Big Fish's short animation "Global Warming" a whole bunch of times. I think I actually saw it six times at the festival, and I honestly enjoyed it every time! It got an honorable mention in the Australian panorama, and it's doing very well on the festival circuit all around the world.

The guys at Big Fish seem to be doing a lot of things right! Their work is unique, and often hilarious. Perhaps most impressive is their work ethic and the speed at which they produce films.

They're currently running an online film festival where they put out a new short animation EVERY WEEK! These shorts also screen on Triple J TV on Saturday mornings on the ABC.

Anyways, that's enough from me. Get on over there and check out their work! Really great stuff.

Melbourne Creative Hub

For years we've been planning to start up a website to help creative types in Melbourne get together, collaborate and share ideas. Unfortunately, we've never had the chance to really get it going since we've been so busy working on SMM and other projects. But luckily, someone else beat us to it!

Melbourne Creative Hub is a social networking site dedicated to creative people in Melbourne. You can post examples of your work and list the types of people you are hoping to collaborate with. There's also a forum where you can request crew members and all sorts of stuff.

It's still small at this stage but it has a lot of potential, so jump on board ya'll!
