Jerry and Bob were the first people I asked to leave messages when I first started the project. I might have started the whole project just cause I wanted to animate their voices. Jerry gave me three poems. “Bird on a Branch” was one of the first animations I did, then this one is a poem he wrote for Summer Solstice, which oddly enough I used today, and the other poem I’m going to use on Autumnal Equinox. Two awesome days for so many reasons. 

For those of you that don’t know, I did win the Next Great Filmmaker Award. I was plugging it here for the entire month the contest was running. When I won I said I was going to use the money to make new animations, and said I would have the hundredth micro-animation finished by mid-August. It’s going to be a lot of work, but it will also be a lot of fun. That means I’m going to need a bunch of new voicemail messages.

Animation Hotline is a series of relatively often animations where I use messages left on my voicemail for content. When you get a chance please leave me a message, and honestly it’s best if you leave more than one because sometimes what you think is the perfect message might simply be impossible for me to animate in one day. This project is only as good as the messages that you leave me, so if you feel so inspired, call!
