Description of Pictures: An Evening with Animator BILL PLYMPTON
Two Washington, D.C. Premieres*
Animator, cartoonist and illustrator Bill Plympton is known as “the king of indie animation.” His award-winning short films have highlighted many film festivals and he is the only person to hand-draw an entire animated feature film. He has received Oscar nominations for an early animation, Your Face, in 1988 and for Guard Dog in 2005, while his short film, Push Comes to Shove, won the prestigious Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1991. In this special evening, Plympton presents two new animations, Summer Bummer and a restoration of the 1921 The Flying House, as well as a sneak peek at an upcoming project.

TMZ (Weird Al Music Video) (USA, 2011, 4 min.) The private life of a celebrity is anything but private in this scandalous music video. Set to the tune of Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me,” TMZ uncovers the gossip, the dirt, the juicy stuff that we really don’t need to know about our favorite celebs, exposing the plight of one starlet as an embarrassing photo spreads like wildfire.
WAITING FOR HER SAILOR (USA, 2011, 1 min.) Waiting for her sailor to return home, a woman on a cliff watches closely as a ship approaches.
THE COW WHO WANTED TO BE A HAMBURGER (USA, 2010, 6 min.) This children’s fable is about the power of advertising, the meaning of life and ultimately the test of a mother’s love. It’s the story of a young cow, mes ...More...

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
