Also, the final 5.1 audio mix of the sound design for SMILE was completed today at Walt Disney Studios. This mix will be featured on a SMILE DVD, which will be made sometime in the distant future. (I am slow to get this done!) Here are some pictures:

-Ain't it Cool News
SMILE has picked up an award at the Sapporo International Shorts Fest in Sapporo, Japan for Best Mini Short. The Best Mini Short Award is a jury award given to the best film under 10 minutes.
If you have not yet done so, please support SMILE and see it in the new iTunes Store. The new iTunes store was launched today as Apple announced the next generation of ipods to come out this year.

"Chris Mais' Smile is a beautiful piece of animated performance art. Mixing motion capture, film, 3D animation and orchestral accompaniment the short film is akin to a whimsical magic trick. While being enthralling by narrative, you can't help allowing the mind wander a bit in considering how it was put together, and how the seams in its construction were so well hidden.
Smile is a yellow bendy figures who is delighted when a child releases a helium balloon into the room in which Smile is housed. As the child leaves, both Smile and the scowling Pirate bendy try to coax the floating yellow balloon toward themselves. The pantomime micro-epic combines the joys of silent comedy and surprising inventiveness offered by animation. If this example of performance and technology complementing each other is representative of what's available on iTunes, the store should be a treasure trove."

Message boards seem to be down -- when's your LA screening this Saturday? We'd love to go! :)

hey... how is the itunes download thing working for you? Are you finding it to be a functional way of distributing your animation?
Sep 27, 2006 06:35PM
Loved it.

I was commenting about how amazing I thought SMILE was, and Matt said, "Hey, that's a Chapman guy!" It's great to see another Chapman person doing well! You should be proud of all the work you've done, it makes me want to go get an ipod just so I can download it off iTunes. Cheers! :)

It is really cool.

Great. iTunes doesn't allow me to download the Smile video because I live out of the U.S. But I've watched the trailer at your site. I really want to see the full version somehow.

I just downloaded SMILE. Congrats on the great placement and exposure on Itunes. This film deserves all its success. I'm thrilled to have it on my IPod. A.
