Art Curry’s “Pen Pals” (computer-generated film short)
I saw a computer-generated film short called Pen Pals this past summer at the Nickel Independent Film Festival in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and now it’s available for viewing on the animator’s blog: Art’s WunderBlög.
It’s an entertaining story about a pen and a pencil fighting to win the affections of a female pencil. They — the pen and the pencil — draw various characters that come to life on the paper (a knight, a cowboy, a samurai, etc.) and those characters duke it out. It’s a creative idea, well done and a lot of fun. One of the best animations I saw at the festival.
