		<title>NoFootage@Szkiz</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday it has been the first time in a long time that I did my NoFootage live visuals. The szkiz collective asked me to join the Vienna part of their Poland/Austria artist exchange programm. I had the most fun visualizing a live act jam session featuring Ryo Sketch &#038; Piotr Gwadera, The Neary Heart, kwerk and antiehdas as well as a DJ-Line by Ace of Space. The music allowed to build up more complex patterns. I really love to work with live acts. Its great in terms of pace. Live life! Photos Astrid Knie]]></description>

		<title>WM5 – 1050 Hoodshirt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My affection for depicting letters with hand gestures in a street credible manner soon resultet in a non verbal description of where I live. That is Viennas 5th district called Margareten. In summer a friend (and neighbour) told me that if I&#8217;d make a WM5 shirt she would buy it. Well here it is! It took some time but finally every 5th district resident and sympathizer has the chance to buy one.Of course we did beta testing. See the attached photo series! Enjoy and buy in the newly added SHOP (! Oct. 29-30 free shipping with voucher code WITCHINGHOUR) Photos Woeishi Lean Models Paul Schweinester, mrt]]></description>

		<title>Pixel 6 &#8211; Interview: Andreas deja</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Andreays Deja was born in Germany 1957. He moved to the US in 1980 to join Disney. He worked on numerous films and is most noted for creating villains such as Gaston from &#8216;Beauty and the Beast&#8217;, Jafar from &#8216;Aladdin&#8217; and Scar from &#8216;The Lion King&#8217;. In 2007 he was honored with the Winsor McKay Award. Back in Germany, what was the very first connection with animation? There were two moments. One when I was very little. We had a black and white TV in our living room at home and they showed some Walt Disney show. Like The Wonderful World Of Disney dubbed in German. They showed some short clips of Micky Mouse. I was as young as four and my head was completely&#8230; I just couldn&#8217;t turn my head away. There was something about Micky Mouse and those moving round shapes and forms that just completely captivated me. So that was early on. And then subsequently I bought Mickey Mouse comic strips and things like that. But I didn&#8217;t see my first Disney feature film until I was about eleven. It was Jungle Book and that blew my head away. I thought this is it. So that really got me started. When came the decision to move to the states? I decided right there. To work for Disney was the only reason for me to move. What you do is you try. Everybody else tells you you are crazy. Its not gonna happen. Yeah you will go to America and work for Walt Disney, sure you will. You hear that kind of thing throughout the years. But there was something inside of me that said you have to try it anyway even though it seems like an absolutely crazy idea but try it anyway. So I tried and&#160;&#160;<a class="more" href="http://www.martinlorenz.at/blog/pixel-6-interview-andreas-deja/">[+]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Pixel 6 &#8211; Survey Day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was strolling around at this years Pixel 6 conference on computer graphics interviewing some passersby. enjoy ! ROMANA MAYR Background: I&#8217;m working at Clockstone doing 3D assets and interface design for games. At Pixel: Guest. Why are you here: I&#8217;ve been here already two years and I liked it a lot. Strongest impression: The Talk of Disney&#8217;s Andreas Deja is a remaining impression. I got very good impulses to enhance the expression of my own figures. Definitely a great inspiration! Networking: I met a lot of people from companies I already know. They then know other people and everybody gets to know each other. Its always funny to see how small the world is. For Future Pixels: It was great this year! I&#8217;d be glad to see a continuation of good people from the industry coming in and being able to show some really interesting stuff. JÜRGEN HAGLER Background: Education. I&#8217;m coming from FH Hagenberg. At Pixel: I presented the ARS [electonica] film selection on Friday. Today I did a School presentation of Hagenberg together with my colleague Michael Lankes. Strongest impression: I ran head-on into the wardrobe of the academy of sciences. Apparently I&#8217;ve not been the only one. That was an acoustic highlight and its still bleeding. Networking: I already know a lot of people. I don&#8217;t live in Vienna. The Pixel is a great opportunity to meet everyone again. That&#8217;s always nice. I also made some new contacts. For Future Pixels: Promoting the education talks a bit better. They were a bit sparsely attended. Maybe instead of a speech it could rather be a discussion. AL GAIVOTO Background: 2D Animation since 1976. At Pixel: Guest. Why are you here: Chris Asked me to come over. I know Andreas [Deja] from working on Roger Rabbit. So it&#160;&#160;<a class="more" href="http://www.martinlorenz.at/blog/pixel-6-survey-day-1-2/">[+]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Pixel 6 &#8211; Interview: Christian De Vita</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christian De Vita was born in Rome in 1973. He worked on various animation projects like &#8216;Space Jam&#8217; and Tv series for BBC, CITV and Cartoon Network. He worked as Lead Story artist on Wes Andersons &#8216;Fantastic MR. Fox and as story artist on Tim Burtons &#8216;Frankenweenie&#8217;. What sparked your initial interest for comics early on? I don&#8217;t know. I always liked to draw. One of my first memories is drawing. I was the sort of kid you get easily quiet by giving it a paper and a pen. There&#8217;s no clear memory where I thought this is what I want to do. I just remember always doing it. During the talk you mentioned your favorite Italian comic artist who lead you towards studying film. Whats his name? Aah. There is different ones. I used to like Claudio Villa who did covers for Tex Willer which is an Italian Western Comic. In Italy Western and Cowboys were quite popular in the 50ies and 60ties. When I grew up and got into my teenage years the same publishing house started making horror comics and it was around that time that I really got into horror films. I was quite happy that my education in Horror comic books and films came full circle when I was just working for Tim [Burton]. I could draw out of a good pool of reference and research! I like to call it research now but at the time my teachers used to call it wasting time. You mentioned that during the Mr. Fox production in Paris you didn&#8217;t see your wife and son. I am interested in how do you organize a private life in such a global industry? How do you even get to have a wife and son? well luckily&#8230; I don&#8217;t know. I&#160;&#160;<a class="more" href="http://www.martinlorenz.at/blog/pixel-6-interview-christian-de-vita/">[+]</a>]]></description>
