THANK YOU EVERYONE, For The Very Warm Reception To My New Film DOUBLE KING So Far! For Those Of You That

THANK YOU EVERYONE, for the very warm reception to my new film DOUBLE KING so far! For those of you that didn’t get the memo, I’m selling limited edition signed risograph prints of my cheeky little king, and they’re going fast! If you like, there’s an option for me to attach a little drawing as well, or even for me to draw right on the poster if you’re into that! Would you like one? http://felixcolgrave.com/shop

Some fancy merch for my new film came back from the printers today! Signing and numbering now, film online in a few days

I CANNOT believe how young you are!!! At what age did you start animating? You're so good now, must've got a ton of practice.

I suppose it depends on what you consider ‘starting’. I always knew I WANTED to be an animator, and I’ve been making flip books and such for as long as I can remember. When I was maybe about 9, I got a CD-ROM based on the British kids show “Art Attack”, which had the capacity for small looping redrawn animation with some basic onion skinning.At maybe 11 or so I started using Microsoft Powerpoint, where I would do cutout animation by setting up the slides to change every 0.1 seconds, and moving around drawn objects frame by frame.Then at 13, I got my hands on Macromedia Flash 8. My underfunded government highschool in the country honestly didn’t have much use for Flash and definitely didn’t have staff who could teach it, but the computing teacher was my best friend’s dad and had seen all my Powerpoint animations, so he pushed for the school to buy the Macromedia suite. After a year he managed to get it, and then immediately burnt me a copy.I did my first paid job (a music video) when I was 15, and I’m still using Flash over a decade later.
