Seymour Bits: "Put It Back Down" - By Michiel ten Horn and Maarten J. Berkers

Sweet Victory!

After all the hard work over the last year done by The Copernicus Crew and Mark Cappello, the labour tax credit in Nova Scotia has been reinstated!

The brief transmission from Film Nova Scotia:

Dear Producers:

At a recent Treasury Board meeting, the following amendments were made to support the film industry via the Nova Scotia Film Industry Tax Credit:

   - The production cost cap has been removed!

   - The residency requirement has been changed so that  employees resident during the production are eligible.

Further details will follow.

Sincerely,

Film Nova Scotia

Complete and utter victory. We even gained the ability to ‘deem’ talent into the province and make them eligible on our productions (a critical piece that will allow us to rebuild).

Many thanks to everyone who supported our efforts. Rebuilding will not be easy with the talent we’ve lost, but we at least have a shot now to be competitive with other regions in the country and we can rebuild the Nova Scotia industry.

Thanks to Murray for finding this appropriate clip:

Onedotzero just released this little montage (everybody needs a montage) of some of their recent endeavors in the realms of motion graphics, short film, animation and music videos. It’s an impressive show and proof of Onedotzero’s inspiring talent.

Gaz Metro

Production company 'La Moustache' animated this spot for the official 2010 Gaz Metro campaign. They were VERY proud of this piece and worked crazy hours all through the night & with a ton of real chalk and paint to create this stop motion madness. See a time-lapse video of the process below. I love watching this insurgence of new graffiti / stop-motion / paint & chalk style-animated-street-art happening in the form of commercials and short films.
