Podcast appearances and mentions of Harry Partridge

In this episode Mike, Rich and Steve tackle another bumper crop of new releases, starting with four sci-fi movies: We start with OCCUPATION: RAINFALL, the 2nd instalment of the Australian alien invasion franchise which a mixture of bitter grit and big flashy fx set-pieces. We follow this with another big-budget sci-fi movie, THE TOMORROW WAR starring Chris Pratt - this one is currently available to watch on Amazon Prime. Our third sci-fi movie is LAPSIS, an off-kilter look at the plight of workers who are part of enabling a new level of technology. Then it is off to a post-apocalyptic future in MOLLY, a sequel of sorts to a film we covered way back in episode 95 called Kill Mode. Molly features a 30 minute fight sequence made up of long takes as its finale. Meanwhile our next film goes even further. CRAZY SAMURAI: 400 vs 1 sees real-life samurai Musashi Miyamoto (Tak Sakaguchi) enter into a 77minute one-shot, unedited fight scene against 400 angry warriors!  THE SOUL COLLECTOR (aka 8) is the first of three horror films discussed in this episode, a folk horror film set in South Africa. This is followed by the atmospheric THE DARK AND THE WICKED where supernatural shenanigans occur around a rural farm. Finally, we discuss WITCH HUNT, a film which it is fair to say took all of us by surprise! Our Short Shot this week is THE RETURN OF DR BEES, from animator Harry Partridge. We highly recommend you also check out his other DR Bees shorts, DR BEES and #CHANGETHEBEES! And finally...in our DTV Throwback we stand around and gawp at COLLISION, in which a clean-shaven Frank Grillo and his femme fatale wife get caught up in a traffic accident in the Moroccan  desert! This is available on Amazon Prime but be warned there are key moments missing subtitles! Follow the Short Shots TWITTER page, where we will be linking to a short film every day!  Don't forget to also check out our main show, the DTV DIGEST on TWITTER and FACEBOOK!    

Happy Hallowe'en! Even though 2020 is plenty scary enough for everyone, let's celebrate the spooky season with one of the scarier epsiodes of Transformers - Nightmare Planet! Joining us is animator extraordinary and all round good guy Harry Partridge, so let's make our way into dreamland and wonder just *how* did Springer and Razorclaw escape that dungeon?

Harry Partridge is a rare bird: a structural engineer with a creative soul. He ran his own firm Partridge Engineering for over 30 years, taking pride in delivering strong, safe buildings. But early on, Harry knew something was missing. So he went in search of inspiration, creativity and art in his life and in his work. Now with his firm Cultural Capital, Harry works with artists and developers to bring public art to new communities. And he wants to bring the arts into the education of young engineers. Find out why architects and engineers are set up to be arch-enemies. And what happens when you let 250 engineering students loose with coloured paints. culturalcapital.city

This week we have a very special interview with animator Harry Partridge (see below for a small selection of his works). We talk about YouTube comments, using Flash and ToonBoom, how following his own path helped him find success, money and "batboobs." We had so much fun recording this episode and I think there's a lot here for new and experienced Indie animators to learn from... so enjoy the show! Please Rate & Review us on iTunes Be sure to check out Harry's YouTube Channel and follow him on Twitter! And you can now check us out on SoundCloud! Topics & Timestamps: (3:50) Flash & ToonBoom (7:30) Where you learned animation (13:48) With Animation You Can (16:36) Go Animate (19:15) YouTube & Twitter comments (24:38) Social Issues & the changing landscape (26:52) Rifftrax (32:32) YouTube copyright and recent changes (35:30) Talking Money and that CartoonBrew post (42:20) Audience Questions... (42:38) Lamont Wayne: "YouTube's changes in their policies and compensation and how that's affected him and the other Newgrounds animators." (46:18) Alex Dudley: "A lot of animators have found great success in making fan animations and parodies. What does one need to do to get their original creations a chance to reach that same success, or is it even possible at this point?" (48:53) Christian Kelly: "Do you ever feel bad that there is so much art to appreciate with all the time and hard work put into it but, not enough time to appreciate it all?" (51:02) Joel Townsend: "Your song about animation, you said you wanted to make movies but you turned to animation instead. Is that really true? How old were you when you made that switch?" (53:45) Ronald Chaparro: "Starbarian update?" (55:42) James T Nethery: "how does Harry stay sane when his fans are constantly bothering him over social media about when the next cartoon will come out? Does that push him to animate faster or does he ignore it and keep going at the same pace he always does?" (1:01:24) Sam Albro: "How does he balance his level of polish with the demands of the online audience?" (1:05:42) Alex Harvey: "What's your view on the 2D feature animation climate? Do you think that it could make a successful comeback, with both Brad Bird and Laika's Travis Knight mentioning that their interested in doing 2D features, and now the Dragon's Lair campaign? Would you want to ever make a 2D animated feature? Also, please can you send him a big hello from everyone on the Animation BA course here at UCA Farnham for me! ;D" (1:09:99) Alex Fox: "When the next few episodes of Starbarians are finally completed and released will you release a Kickstarter or Patreon as you've kinda mentioned about it on Newgrounds?" (1:12:52) Sam Freeman: "What would you say to your old university tutors now that you have more recognition in the animation community then they do?"   Check out more of your hosts: Stephen Brooks Rob Yulfo   Preorder Stephen's Animation Tutorial Book: And please Rate/Review us on iTunes  Subscribe on SoundCloud  ... and Rate/Review us on Stitcher while you're at it!

HOT COCOA SHOW! This week we talk all about Copyright, Fair Use, Parody, Fan Art and more in a discussion that's centered around a blog post I made on the topic a couple days ago (click here to check that would which ALSO has this episode embedded in it for good measure)! Creators on the internet mostly get the blame for using and sometimes abusing copyrighted material in their own creations. Sometimes they constitute something new and other times they're not at all covered under fair use and are basically just stealing, whether intentional or not. As pointed out early in the show, ignorance is not a defense against copyright infringement. However! "Internet creators" are not unique in this area, there's just a lot more artists sharing their work now than there used to be... and much of that work is the exploratory stuff nobody ever used to be privy to in the pre-internet age. Because the copyright has been extended to such a degree that more of the art which is actually still relevant in our time is copyrighted (proportionate to in the past when the copyright term was much shorter), the risk of stepping into legal quicksand is actually even more probable now. More creators, being seen earlier in their careers than ever before, in a time of extended copyright on the pop culture that itself is uniquely used as a cultural reference point of expression... that's complicated!! I aim to make things clearer for you by making it clearer for my co-host Rob in this episode of the podcast and help further in the companion blog post which I encourage you to check out.

(42:12)  What is Fair Use? (50:26)  The four factors used by a judge to decide if a work is covered under Fair Use (1:06:16)  Parody vs Satire... what's the difference? (1:16:25)  Is Fan Art legal?

Josh and Steve are joined by the awesome and fascinating animator Harry Partridge to talk about Jan Terri. In between Josh and Steve kissing Harry’s ass, they also talk about the dream job (i.e. not animating), South Park, favorite step in the animation process, writing, Game Boy Color porn, the wank fest of university, get really nerdy about in betweens, tons of toy talk, and then expose themselves. All this and lots more.

Stephen is traveling this week... but that won't stop us! The podcast continues, with a spit & glue setup only MacGyver could understand. This week we talk about Clone Wars coming to Netflix, Annie Leibovitz making our casting game come true, and Rob finds a tumblr that... well... I'll let him explain it. We also talk about a post that made its rounds this week on what it actually means to be an animator. It was short and blunt and we have words about it. This week, a friend and fellow animation geek, Jules Jammal, passed away at a well-lived but still young age of 39. There is a link to a scholarship set up in his name in the annotations below.

This episode we preview the interview I had with Andrew Kaiko about his new animated short "Norm & Cory", as well as a guessing game, a discussion about about sexy Disney men and a rundown of the major animation stories of the week! Rob & I have been working on our "secret" project (which we announce on the podcast) as well as two separate animated shorts which come out this week... but that also means we're tired. Very tired. So a fun drinking game to play in this podcast would be whenever someone makes a gigantic, embarrassing mistake while trying to say something relevant... drink! Sidenote, I'll be gone next week but the conversation continues on twitter and facebook under the hashtag #PatRyan2016 ... come up with some good campaign slogan for our crazy co-host.

This week we get into the hot and heavy details of out wet dreams in Mass Effect 3 and how Bioware ruined the franchise. Tim gets a burger And we listen to some Harry Partridge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9eGtyqz4gY We talk about my parents and wrap it up questioning the motives our friendship.

[Digital Gonzo 2012] David Fincher's directorial debut has been maligned by most and loved by few. It's a flawed, filthy, foreboding and occasionally really effective story. The end result of thirty script rewrites and years of troubled development. We get our teeth into how studio meddling by Fox left this project multibuggered to the point where it almost ended up an Alan Smithee picture. Fincher certainly disowned it and everybody involved was frustrated and disappointed, as were audiences everywhere. We examine this twenty-year old curio with great enthusiasm, starting with the utterly soul-destroying deaths at the opening. Oh and huge props to Harry Partridge whose idea for rather brilliant videos I shamelessly copied for a neat bit of audio in this show.
