Now that On Animation is serving thousands daily, I was hoping I could get some feedback from you guys to help steer the site in the right direction in the coming years. This is the first survey I’ve done, so it will be interesting to see the results. I have some big ideas for the site, but I’d like to hear from you in case they’re delusions of grandeur. Please take a minute to answer the three questions below. The survey will be up here for a week, so make sure you scroll down to see the latest content. For the first question you can choose more than one answer.

If you haven’t seen this posted everywhere else, it’s about time you see it. This is a really nice character exploration test done by Chris Williams for Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. It’s very entertaining and usually long for a test, which is a real treat.

This month’s 11 second club winner can be found at the end of Leo Ito’s 2011 reel. Congrats Leo!

A fun little short by Dan Markowitz.

An animated aquatic action-adventure, painstakingly made in stop-motion with thumbtacks and rubber bands on a bulletin board.

This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide.
Spain´s highest mountain @(3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories.
