First Post of the Month/Year

Interweb!

Our apologies for the lack of updates lately. We’ve been incredibly busy with SO many different things … Things that I’m not allowed to talk about just yet, but they are AWESOME things! I can, however, tell you about our website update plans. We have a TON of new content to add to CJC Labs; including brand new “making of” articles about the SkateHub commercial, the ReDigi project, and even the sneak peak of The Waterman Movie!

We also have some updates planned for our main website, but I’d like to attempt to make those changes before I start talking about them (just in case I epic fail).

We’re also still working on the brand new 2nd Avenue website, which is coming along nicely! We’re shooting to have the new site up and running sometime in February or March (hopefully February).

There’s a bunch of other minor updates and fixes that will also be made, but nothing really noteworthy. You’ll be able to check back here for more info on the changes when they’re made.

The New Year (2012)

Well, here we are again. Another year has come and gone. 2011 was a very exciting year for us. We didn’t manage to get many animated projects out, but we have DEFINITELY been working hard on a lot of stuff! We’re very much looking forward to 2012 as we have so many projects that we hope to finally have finished and released. It should make up for the lack of 2011 projects!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! Be safe out there!

Broken Stone 20th Anniversary

In celebration of the 20 years that the story has been in existence, we were hoping to release the very first episode of our original series, titled “Broken Stone” this year. Unfortunately that’s not going to happen. This has been an extremely busy (and quite exciting) year for us, and unfortunately we weren’t able to allocate enough time towards the Broken Stone project to finish it in time. But that’s okay! We’d much rather not rush it. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Broken Stone, we’ve decided to share some extremely old (and previously classified) content from the world of Broken Stone.

A Brief History of Computer-Generated Animation

Guest Post by Olivia Lennox: When it comes to entertainment, no medium really comes close to the success of cinema. Since the early 20th Century, we’ve packed theatres across the world for a glimpse at the next big blockbuster film. With this popularity has come a natural evolution in the way that we make films, too. It’s no longer a simple case of pointing a camera and shooting (unless you want it to be, of course), rather there are countless means of capturing the world around us in cinematic form. One type of film that has really taken the world by storm is CGI, or computer generated imaging. READ FULL ARTICLE

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just taking a moment to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Veterans Day

Thanking all of the heroic men and women, of past and present, who fought for this country and for our freedom. We’d like to share one of our favorite quotes from a man who is simply incredible with his words.

“In their image we see them pure and unselfish, for their courage is unfaltering in every way. Upon their call they put others before themselves and answer to a duty greater than their own. Preserving our way of life, the fabric of our nation, they risk their lives so others may be free. Honoring those past and present our soldiers and warriors. Happy Veterans Day.” ~Andrew Hofstetter

If you’d like to see the many many more incredible quotes from Andrew, then you are more than welcome to add him as a friend on Facebook. He welcomes everyone and accepts all requests. Incredible guy!

Happy Veterans Day, everyone!

New Project Announcement!

Happy 11-11-11 11:11! If you’ve been keeping up with our past posts, then you may have noticed how we had been hinting towards a particular project over the last few months; a project that had yet to be announced. Well that changes right now, as we are finally ready to shine some light on it! We have been covertly working on a new project that came to mind back in August, and although it’s still in the very early stages, it’s shaping up to be something great. The project is currently untitled and we can’t share much about the story just yet, but if you’ve been to our official blog lately, then you most certainly have already seen something from it. One of the main characters has been featured on our header ever since the blog’s redesign/update. Awesome, right? No? Well… anyway.. The story will star four characters that are unwillingly brought together for an important cause. We thought that it would be pretty cool to give each character their own unique look and “vibe” by having them each be independently designed by different people. In order to pull this off, we sought the help of an incredible artist/writer/ dear friend Lexa Forsyth, to help us bring to life one of these characters. She did an incredible job delivering not only the visual concept, but the heart and soul of the character as well! That’s about all we can share at the moment. More details about this project well become available in the days to come. But for now, here’s a sneak peak of the main cast of characters.
