Distribution : Sonoma international film festival by Keith English

I LOOOOVE Film Festivals, and especially Sonoma's which is attended by so many filmmakers. While I do a lot of character animation work and vfx work on features such as Sam Raimi's DRAG ME TO HELL (animating the Evil Hanky character), or even on Michael Jackson's ill-fated stage show THIS IS IT, my true playtime is Film Festival opening trailers which play before every event and film to show the sponsor names. Not exactly much use for filling up the coffers but a carte blanche for free expression. Just need to keep the audience entertained even if they are watching it for the 90th time or in Santa Barbara's case, for the 600th time!!! I've been doing opening trailers now for various festivals for 12 years. This year for Sonoma International Film Festival which has just finished I created this little piece ... https://vimeo.com/122821782 My first Sonoma opening was back in 2006 when I was asked to create the opening for a Tribute event for John Lasseter with many Pixar and Disney bods in attendance. Intimidating to say the least. Here's what I created for that event. ... https://vimeo.com/101962771 And here are two I did over the years for Santa Barbara International Film Festival. https://vimeo.com/100944851 https://vimeo.com/119137308 Hope you enjoy.
