Ken Priebe's post about his new production blog for his film "StoryTime with Nigel" got me thinking about some of the other good ones I've seen out there. I thought I'd post links and see if any of the rest of you knew of any good ones . I find it inspirational and educational to read about how people work, observe their process, see the project develop from inception to completion.

Production blogs :

The Blog of Kells
Feature film being made by Cartoon Saloon in Ireland.
Combination of hand-drawn on paper and Flash.

A Time For All Seasonings
Short film being made by Chewbone Animation in Chicago.
Hand-drawn on paper , digital ink & paint.
http://allseasonings.blogspot.com/2007/04/clip-from-film.html

Nina Paley's Sita Sings the Blues
Blog about the making of Nina Paley's feature film "Sita Sings The Blues" and other projects. Animated in Flash on a Cintiq tablet.

The Plausible Impossible
Rusty Mill's blog about making his short film "Gotcha Covered" and other
projects. Rusty is animating paperless on a tablet PC with Mirage software .

Any other hand-drawn animation production blogs out there ?

Oh, how could I forget :

Mark Kausler's It's The Cat! production blog .

(well, not exactly a blog... but good stuff on the making-of his hand-drawn (and inked on cels!) film "It's The Cat" . Mark's making a new Cat film and he is posting a bit about the progress of that film on his blog
as well as posting some great Krazy Kat strips.

The film is available for download (for the mere sum of $2.00 ) on CartoonBrewFilms.com

On my home site: www.MichaelSpornAnimation.com I have a page dedicated to the art and production of a feature we've had stumbling into a start.

The film went strong at the beginning and is slowly about to go into full production (hopefully within the next month or so.)

There's a blog there http://www.michaelspornanimation....ge/ProductionUpate/ProdUpdate.htm which has had a couple of updates. Now that production is approaching (we're recording some celebrity voices in the next three weeks) there will be more and more entries.

Great. Thanks for that Michael. Your blog is a daily stop for me , but I hadn't seen your Edgar Allan Poe production page . Bookmarking it now .
Poe's life and stories are solid story material and it sounds like you're lining up a great voice cast to supplement the visuals.
