A Cinema Near Ewe (Birthday Present #1)

IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY!!!!

It's exactly one year today that we secured funding for Joy and formed enJoy film, and to celebrate we are releasing two birthday presents this month.

Birthday present #1 is a new animation titled A Cinema Near Ewe: our entry to the British Animation Awards sting competition. The only criteria in the competition brief was that the film should include at least one sheep, so we decided on several! This is our first use of dialogue in animation, however this is only to translate the sheep's conversation as we still wanted the action to be driven by the visuals. 

A Cinema Near Ewe is now available on our vimeo page: http://www.vimeo.com/enjoyfilm/acinemanearewe. Look out for our second birthday present later in the month!

Happy Birthday to us!

Burnt Trees Screening!

Exciting News!

Burnt Trees, the music video we made in 2011 for the band Heavy Dials, will be screened at the January edition of Showroom Shorts.

Showroom Shorts is a regular short film screening held in the cafe bar of the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield, and is organised by the South Yorkshire Filmmakers Network (syfn.org). Our first short, Joy, was screened at the event back in September 2011, and we are very pleased to have been invited to return to screen Burnt Trees. 

Burnt Trees is being screened at the event on Tuesday 24th January, 19:30-22:00. The event is free and open to everyone.

Merry Christmas from enJoy!

Just a quick note to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from us and all of our 2011 Characters!

Keep your eyes peeled for us in the New Year, we have a new competition sting coming up in January, ideas for some new shorts, and it will be our first birthday in February so we will have a nice little treat for you all. 

enJoy your Christmas!

Taking a Break...

Just a quick blog post because we have been taking a break recently so not much to report.

We have just started working on the models for a new project (see pic); our entry to the British Animation Awards BAA Sting, which will feature our first animals as the brief is to create a short animation involving at least one sheep. We would have liked to have finished this by Christmas but it's looking more like it will be early next year.

In other news, we have confirmed two more screenings of Joy recently, bumping our total up to 8 screenings. The upcoming events are: 9th December at The Honor Oak (our first screening in London!), hosted by Tiny Dog Theatre; and 12th December at a showcase of local films in aid of Macmillan Cancer Trust at the Nation of Shopkeepers in Leeds.
