Animocity started out as a site for Royal College of Art animation students to share their films, production stories and general thoughts. Now we're all long-graduated but we keep updating (irregularly)!
We are all freelance film-makers, so if you like what you see and would like to discuss commissioning work you can contact any of us by emailing lauriehi_AT_hotmail_DOT_com. Any comments about the work or the site are also welcome at the same address. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Photograph Of Jesus received an honorable mention from the Short Film Jury at AFI FEST 2010 - nice!
Apparently if I had been in LA I could have done a red carpet walk at the Black Swan gala. Instead I was at home in London and put the kettle on in celebration!
Write up of the 6 awards and 2 honorable mentions here:

It’s been an interesting week! I was asked if I’d like to be one of the four main judges at this year’s London International Animation Festival.
Of course, I was chuffed to be asked and very happy to take part! Thanks to LIAF and my wonderful fellow judges – Steve Woloshen, Elizabeth Hobbs and Anna Faithfull – for making it such an enjoyable experience!

Gots lots to catch up on plus a few older items to add first.
Back in April I was asked if I’d like to participate in the Animation Season at the Cine Lumiere in London – my films My First Taste Of Death and Photograph Of Jesus were screened and I was also involved in the selection of the British section – films made during and after college by ex-RCA students.
I did a quick intro and Q&A at my session.
More general info here:
