Animation Backgrounds

Some backgrounds that I made in Photoshop for a short film I'm working on

Valentine's Day? Nah, not for me

Bleh, I don't celebrate Valentine's day really, I wish it was some excuse to get some chocolate but my boyfriend isn't vunerable to all that commercial stuff. Anyway, why celebrate Valentine's when the 12th is our month-aniversary? It will be 4 years and 3 months together, so I made this card for him xD

Also I will give him his late birthday gift (it was over a month ago...), it's the graphic novel Blankets by Craig Thompson, I tough it would be a perfect gift since it's a book that was kinda special for us :) So...in the first page I'm going to paste this drawing:

Just a cheap imitation I made of the style of the comic book, featuring us :)

Short Animation

This is an animated intro for the Guth Gafa Documentary film festival, held in Ireland this year. The backgrounds were made in photoshop, the animation in TVPaint animation and the music is by Reto Stamm.

It was one of the most fun and challenging jobs I did, it was cool since they told me "We want YOUR characters! We like what you do!" So basically I just had to be myself, a thing that rarely happens in animation :) It was a small job but still, I'm pretty proud of it 

Welcome to The Thumb Cinema!

Hello, I'm Fernanda Frick! I'm an animation student from Santiago, Chile and I'm also a Etsy seller. I opened just some months ago under the name of "The Thumb Cinema" which has the mission of bringing the wonderfull world of animation to your hands through flipbooks.

Here's what you can expect from me and my blog:

• Features of some of the fantastic items that I find around Etsy, probably along the lines of Illustration, Art, plushies, sculptures and geek stuff, but of course if something catches my eye it will be featured anyway :)
  
  
• Sharing tips on marketing and social networking (twitter, facebook, blogs etc)
  
  
• Also, since animation is my passion, I may post ocassionally cool animated videos from the web, which yu will probably enjoy even if you're not familiarized with it.
  
  
• And of course, I'll post progress of my own works but I'll try not to bore you enough with it ;)

At first you'll see features of my current favs, but if you want to suggest something you can reach me by comments or email.
