Exciting news folks! My independent student film, "A Romance In Graphite" was selected as one of the finalist films for the Teletoon animation scholarship in the category for most promising student. So, now, I can finally show the world the two minutes of film that took me an entire school year to create... Yaaaays! The film is an integration of 2-D traditional animation with stop-motion animation and is about a pencil who falls in love with its drawing. You can watch my wee little film on the Teletoon website found here under the Finalists tab and in the Most Promising Student category. The website can be mighty slow, so I added a copy of my film right here for you fluid viewing pleasure! Some other great friends of mine from Sheridan have also gotten their films accepted ("Fresh Eggs", "Taste of Glory", "C Block", "Parental Guidance" and "Two by Two") so be sure to check those out as well and vote for your favorite (or vote for mine, whatever makes you happy ;D). Anyways folks, I sure hope you like my attempt at film making and best of luck to all the finalists! WHOO!

Awesome film.
congrats on a great film!
Hello there Melissa,
I was at Ottawa and was surprised to see your fine film not awarded something. They made some very weird choices, IMHO. You should enter this in other festivals, I'm sure it will do well!
Absolutely wonderful. I'd love to see some "behind the scenes" stuff from this film.
I came here by way of a link on another blog. After watching, I'm really glad I stopped by. A fun piece of work!
Whats!!!!
A great surprise, really nice work, history, You can feel proud of your work. :)
Beautiful Artwork Melissa.
Pete Emslie pointed me in this direction, and I knew I wouldn't be wasting my time. That guy knows what's good.
lovely film!
Hey folks, I just wanted to thank everyone for the kind words about my work and film. I'm so glad so many amazing artists enjoyed it, it makes all the time and effort I put into it all worthwhile. My film didn't end up taking home any prizes in the end, but no worries, it just felt great to have been chosen to be a finalist amongst all the other amazing filmmakers. Thanks again to everybody who watched and/or voted for my film!
Cheers!
Excellent!!! It was a pleasure to watch from start to finish. Thank you for sharing.
