My how the years are flying by. What’s that dreary looking grey mess on the left? Better find out in part 7.

We’re into the music and funding phase now, so things start getting a bit wordy. Click the pic. ———————————————————————————->

Two more festivals with The Passenger in them, again at short notice. First up is the ArtCourtVidéO festival in Arles, France on what appears to be Friday 16th November 2007, and then Animation Nation in Singapore for what I gather to be two screenings - 11:00am, Sunday 25th of November and 9:00pm, Tuesday 27th of November 2007 (I had to do some sleuthing myself to find out these details, so you might want to double check rather than take my word for it).

Maybe I should make a making of the making of after this. I wonder if that would take as long to make as it’s taken to make the making of. Anyway, here’s part 5.

Another unfathomable episode for your obfuscatory bemusement.

Alright, for your convenience I’m going to keep posting these here after all. Year 3 is now up.

It looks like Monday has become the day for posting new entries in this series, so to save me having to keep thinking up witty new blog posts each time, you can assume this is going to be a weekly thing and direct yourselves back to the Making-Of pages for updates.

How does somebody spend years of their life pushing little dots around a screen and playing the same noises repeatedly without losing their marbles? What does it take to get those little dots and noises onto a bigger screen? And why would anyone want to do something like that anyway? Beats me, read this and let me know if you can figure it out.

Next stop: the Calgary International Film Festival in Alberta, Canada. See The Passenger as part of the “Spotlight Australia: Short Film Series” on Sunday September 23rd at 1:30pm at the Globe Theatre, as well as “A Taste of the Animated World” on Friday September 28th at 9:00pm at the Plaza Theatre.

If you missed the screening at InDPanda in Hong Kong over the weekend, or are in need of a second helping, it’s been scheduled to play again on Monday 3rd of September at 9:50pm. Lucky you!
