Disney releases Images from 'Feast"

Today Disney have released the first few images from their short 'Feast' due to screen in front of Big Hero 6 on 7th November 2014.
I was lucky enough to see the world premiere of Feast at Annecy this year and you are all in for a real treat. It combines my two loves; dogs and animation! What more could you want! It focuses on the 12 year relationship between man, James, and dog, Winston, illustrated through how they share their meals. I won't give too much away as it is really is a lovely, heart warming story. 

Meet Winston, the adorable Boston Terrier...


The screening at Annecy also gave us an opportunity to hear from first-time director Patrick Osborne (Tangled, Wreck-it Ralph & Paperman) and Production designer Jeff Turley (Tangled, Wreck-it Raplh & Paperman). It was a great inspiration to see the behind the scenes working progress of this short. The detailed visual research into Boston terriers, the character sheets and even the initial pitch concept from Patrick.  But also, a huge encouragement to see the amount of work and people power a short of this high quality takes, we got to see a scene breakdown from the short through production, layer after layer of compositing and lighting and filters. 
Although I enjoy working remotely and independently, I look forward to the opportunity of working within a team where everyone loves it as much as you do! 
I eagerly anticipate November when I can see this short again!
