The series was the inaugural project for NWFX's animation division, and the company hired 25 full-time animators and added 17 Autodesk Maya 3D workstations specifically for the series. Jibber Jabber is computer animated by Northwest Imaging and FX (NWFX), a visual effects and animation company based in Vancouver), in association with Jibber Jabber Toons Ltd. He is an enemy of Jelly Roll by constantly stealing Jelly's food and he is seen once with another squirrel.

They have very active imaginations, and both share the same vision of their adventures. Jibber and Jabber: The titular protagonists of the series, Jibber and Jabber are seven-year-old fraternal (non-identical) twins.I envy the judges because they get to see great work, but I don't envy them having to narrow down those choices to three winners. I'd imagine with an image that's even more difficult, especially if given many, many of them every quarter. KD used to read the finalists over and over. (this is the cover for a dubstep remix song, so there's your record grooves.) There's a ceramic? cracking triangle. The tiny woman's face is also breaking into bits. I found the sexy part pretty quickly, (or is that pain?), but the image keeps going. What's a judge to do when faced with something like this?Īt first glance, you feel how you feel about it. Let me take my inexpert opinion even further: I'm sure there's all kinds of other nuances. I am so not an expert, but I've learned a ton about art during my time here. And a little part of me believes we'll be missing someone from our group in the quarter ahead.īut an illustration either grabs you or it doesn't. So, regardless of how I do, I'm now as anxious for the others as I am myself. One thing though, since this quarter has drug on forever, I have gotten to know a lot of people. It is longer than my first, so that's a plus,I gather. My Q1 submission was my first as well, so I'm clueless how this next one will go over. I'd like to avoid a paper submission this time, but I have a non-standard WP that's had some problems in the past with online submissions. I'm working on my Q3 story, but not sure if I'll make the deadline in time. Just didn't have a speculative story ready enough or that wasn't already somewhere else.

We've been told that 99% of the results have gone out for Q1, but where rest fall is anyone's guess (except for the finalists, who have to keep quiet about it, of course). To Venvariants: It's sure beginning to look that way.

having already submitted to Q3 and probably already know what they're going to submit to Q4. wish I could say that was the only time that has happened lol) Anyone else have that problem? I know some people are really on the ball. less than a month to go and all I have are some notes written for the story. I agree though, it would be nice to know sooner than later, then maybe I'd be more proactive about writing the Q3 entry rather than having thoughts of the Q2 submission intrude on my already tangential thought processes. Wouldn't they have to notify the rejections before making an announcement of the winners? (and HM's etc.) Or is that just how it usually works? I'm still new to this, so I could be completely mistaken. I stand by the inkling that they're going to announce the Q1s and Q2 simultaneously.
