What is your name and your current occupation?
I’m Jez Hall and I’m currently series director on Fleabag Monkeyface.

 

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I haven’t really had any proper jobs, let alone crazy….. I was an illegal wine waiter once. Illegal as in I was only 16. I wasn’t some kind on Pinot Grigio gangster. Drive by cork popping… I then drew comics before getting in to animation.  Animation is crazier than pouring wine.

 

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
Theres lots. I’ve been doing it over twenty years so it would be a big list. The list of projects I’m not proud of would be way bigger.

 

How did you become interested in animation?
People paid me money. Continue reading

“Dogtor” by Rhea Dadoo

  By

A cute and realistically acted piece from second year film student Rhea Dadoo at CalArts.

It’s about friendship and reflecting on personal journeys–also dogs! Making this film definitely got me out of my comfort zone and proved to be a great learning experience! Thank you to faculty and classmates for all your guidance and support–couldn’t have done it without you!

Samsung’s Family Hub: Inside the Fridge

  By

Adweek is reporting on a new spot from Samsung animated by Moonbot in Shreveport.

Painfully cute real-life celebrity couple Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard add another painfully cute Samsung spot to their résumés today, as the electronics retailer has recruited the pair to introduce its souped-up Family Hub refrigerator (and its built-in cameras) to the public with a raft of new advertising.

The campaign begins with the digital short below, by R/GA, which shows the actors unloading groceries into the fancy new fridge, which Samsung unveiled at CES this year. They leave and walk away, but we get a glimpse inside—first through the screen on the outside of the fridge, which shows its contents, and then inside, which is a blissed-out paradise where all the food seems to have paired off in ecstatic love.

Well, almost all the food. A sad bottle of chocolate syrup seems bereft. Will he find the perfect partner to pour some sugar on? Watch the spot below:
