Hi people out there and animation colleagues. as you may or may not know, wonderful animator Kaj Pindal passed away this summer. He was a prolific artist, wonderful story teller and very generous with his time. Kaj taught at my alma matter, Sheridan College for a number of years as well as created numerous animations for the NFB, created the tv series Peep in teh Big Wide World, made many political / satirical cartoons and comics during his early career as well. Basically he did a lot and kept creating and teaching until very recently.
My former Sheridan instructor Ellen Besen and he were colleagues and good friends as well and we decided to put together a little package of drawings and sketches and well wishes from friends and colleagues in the animation community to help cheer hi up when he was ill this past spring . We thought it would give him a boost to know all these people were thinking about him. Unfortunately as we were planning this he passed away. So now we are transforming that little idea into a little simple tribute video to be screened at the Ottawa International Animation Festival 2019.
I have put the call out in social media back in july and early august but thought i should also post it here on my site. The Deadline is September 2nd.
Help us make a little tribute to Kaj Pindal to screen at OIAF 2019! Send me sketches or little looping animations (Just 8- 12 frames long, looping@ 24fps) and I will put it all together and together we can celebrate his memory. Info in jpeg below. thanks! cheers!
