STEWART COPELAND

I just met Henry Padovani yesterday after his Q&A in the french store FNAC in my hometown, and he told me that Stewart will be in Paris for presenting "Everyone Stares", followed by a Q&A !!!
I have no further details yet, but Henry will give me some infos by email as soon as possible !

It's a great thing as I was just "complaining" in another post about the fact that Stewart didn't visit France after Munich and London. Everything in its own time !

Olivier.

Ooh... I forgot to specify that this will take place in october !!!

Aw geez. Stewart in Paris. I feel so sorry for you.

(Seriously, I'm going to try to visit next spring...I may email you for some restaurant recommendations & whatnot. Congrats on your Henry encounter.)

Congratulations Olivier.

I am not that lucky, cause I don't think Stewart will come to México, neither Monterrey.

that's awesome, olivier. congratulations!

i've never made it to paris, but my first animation made its world debut there at a tiny travelling film festival about 3 years ago. i was going to submit our new one to cannes, but they onlly take movies if they are over an hour or under 15 minutes! grrr.....

Thanks dudes !

So jedsoon you do some animations ? great !! tell us more about it !

my first moviemaking efforts were stop motion animations using action figures and clay creatures. (actually my [i]first[/i] movie was a rambo parody i made when i was a teenager, but we won't go there } the 3-minute flick exhibited by the festival got nominated for best short on a microbudget, but didn't win.

i was pretty jazzed to take part in it at the time. but i was also very uneducated about the festival process and it really didn't get me anywhere. now, working with friends we've made a 30-minute live actioner that is many steps up in quality from those old works. it still has a stop-mo shot in it, as well as photoshop-driven animation. and the funny part is the whole thing is a thinly disguised tribute to stew. anyone here that saw it would definitely get the references. i even wear my own version of the rhythmatist hat in it. i guess i can go ahead and mention the title here: "the onslaught of kester kent"!

i submitted it to sundance this week, hoping to follow in the footsteps of my heroes stewart copeland and robert rodriguez and the successes they had there. keeping my fingers crossed!

Interesting ! I guess all the people here would love to see your movie, me as well of course !!
All the best for you an good luck for "the onslaught of kester kent"!!!

Cool Jedson!
Please, keep us informed on everything!

That's pretty cool, jedsoon. Good luck!

thanks for the support, folks. the avatar i used to use here was an actual frame from the movie, so that's at least a [i]little[/i] preview. we're hoping to get a website put together for it that will host a trailer or small clip. i'll be sure to keep you posted!

Hm. Yeah, it'd be fun if we had avatars. Maybe we can ask Gio to put that on the list of stuff to get done when he or Eugenio gets a minute...

Hey! Speaking of Gio, I wonder how that TV show went today. I'd a lot rather have watched that, than a bunch of really painful 9/11 stuff.

Congratulations jedsoon.

I tought your avatar was an image of you

Thanks for the information.

But now I always imagine you as your avatar.

you guessed it georgy! it's actually my favorite pic of myself. i even sent it in to sundance as the director's head shot! so, no need to imagine, it is the real thing!

i am finishing up the trailer today, its about 45 seconds long. the music will be completed this weekend, after which i will send it to my web guy. then he will post the site when he gets time, i suppose. i'm not paying him directly, so i can't be too pushy...

and yes, the extreme close-up IS in the trailer!
