Moon Bear Update: Check Out the Intro for Scotty Jo Cartoons

You may remember that, a while back, we told you about a Kickstarter campaign for an animated short film by friend of the blog, Scott Nicholson. The short exceeded its $3500 goal, and is in the midst of production right now. Now, Scott asked me to share this nifty little intro with all of you: the animated logo for the group bringing you Moon Bear, Scotty Jo Films. Check it out above!

The sound design is by Rachel A. Fowler (Staff Editor at Prologue Films and owner of Freelance Motion Graphics Designer) and all the animation was done by Scotty Jo himself. More updates on Moon Bear as and when we get them.

Inside Moon Bear: Discarded Storyboards and More

Last week we introduced you to Moon Bear, the great animated short being Kickstarted by Scotty Jo (of The Scotty Jo Podcast). The short is based on a storybook Scott made in college and is in the early stages of production. As such, he recently rolled out the above video, explaining the paramount importance of storyboarding and offering up some discarded boards from the short - set to Michael Giacchino's magnificent Up score.

Back The Moon Bear Animated Short on Kickstarter

You guys remember Scotty Jo, right? Friend of the blog who's been kind enough to have me over on his podcast and let me ramble about animation twice now (with a third time coming up shortly). Well, he's working on a little animated short film of his own, Moon Bear. Moon Bear is based on a storybook Scott himself made in college, a touching story about loneliness, all told in a charming visual style.
