Gatchaman movie update

For those who haven't been updated the Gatchaman movie has a new director

Jun Falkenstein

With the Swan as the new director how could they go wrong!

This is a quote from Jun...someone posted on the mailing list;

I got signed to direct an animated feature film.
What this means is, sadly, I won't have time for machinima any more. I will be so crazy
busy. Besides, animation is my career, my first love, it's a world and a path that I
knew inside and out from a very young age. I love every single aspect of directing
animation, from arguing about story and characters, to laughing with voice actors, to
imagining the look and the world with the art department, to spending long days in
editorial making the storyboards sing, to seeing the animators create memorable
characters out of dreams and pixels, to sit in a sound stage with an orchestra pumping
all round you - and most of all, to work with some of the most creative and talented
people on this planet. All I ever wanted to do from day one was be an animation
director, and now I have another chance (and I will be working my ass off not to blow
it, believe you me).

I gather that a lot of this is normal... I think its because we all have so much interest in it that we are hearing all the details that you normally wouldn't know about... I'd rather they delayed it then rushed it, stuffing it up in the process just to make a quick buck.

The only problem is, she said that the movie now won't be released until 2010!!!!

Yes, the release date of this mysterious unnamed film is probably early 2010 for several reasons. Sorry

LOL.... the reason we think that Imagi will be promoting the Gatchaman movie at ComiCon is because they made a press release saying as much. Regardless, Imagi will be there promoting Astro Boy, I'm sure, so they WILL have a presence at ComiCon. I'll just have to hunt them down and have them give me the inside scoop on the film...

Well I am a little disapointed that the file is gong to be put off until 2010, but I would like to see it done well and not something thrown together.




BTW TJ,
I love the background of your new avatar, great stuff (how did you do it?)

LOL.... our version of Photoshop is somehwat older and... uh.... 'borrowed'...

ETA I'm clearly an amateur at this, but if you have a background you want to use I could try to do it for you, Lborgia.

You can only "borrow" up to the CS version, after that version they fixed it so only two PC's at a time can "borrow" it.
But I'm sure someone will find a way around it
