Count Down to Annies 2013
The awards show is this weekend and my Alina Pizzano dress is looking amazing. The artistry is beyond words. Pictures can tell you the colors, but can only hint at the texture and flow. Shelly Waldman a lovely gal and fabulous photographer, is shooting some “making of” shots & video, and will also be joining…
Annie Nod to Mark Vulcano
I am so excited for my good friend Mark Vulcano. He and the animation team he leads at Heavy Iron Studios, are up for an Annie Award for their work on the video game, Family Guy – Back to the Mutiverse . I’ve known Mark for years and this guy really knows his way around special effects…
The inside of couture-Road to the Red Carpet 2013
Now construction begins. Seriously, this is the inside of haute couture. Or in my case, the inside of my bodice. Alina has built the bodice of the dress and has put it on me inside out. She is nipping and tucking and making it fit like a glove. However, she also has to make sure it isn’t too tight,…
What are the Annie Awards?
When I tell people I am the announcer for the Annie Awards, people usually say, “the what awards?” And I usually reply, “It’s the highest award for animation, like the Oscars are for movies.” However; the Annie Awards are for all mediums of animation from film to television to video games to commercials and student films. Often…
I am the canvas! Road to the RC-2013
OMG! Alina is drawing on me!! Thank goodness I’m not that ticklish. Although I was surprised when she pulled out the marker, I could barely feel her markings and the ink didn’t soak through. Could you imagine?!! Many designers will create a muslin gown, or sheath and then proceed to draw their design directly on…
Annie Nod for Beans
I want to send a shout out to my friend Matt Beans for his Annie nomination on Robot Chicken’s ‘DC Comics Special’ – Stoopid Buddy Studios. It’s just so much fun to make fun of super heroes and super villains. Thanks for the great laughs! Keep ’em comin’. Wishing you good luck on February 2nd.
Concept to Couture 2013
Alina Pizzano pulled out her dream book and designed something long, stunning, and 3D just for me. Here is the sketch of the dress. It doesn’t show the cape off the left shoulder, that can be wrapped around me to keep the February chill at bay. (It gets really cold on the Red Carpet!) The swatch is a sample…
Road to the Red Carpet #2
Alina and I headed downtown to the garment district, to check out fabric. All those colors, textures and patterns were so overwhelming! Thank goodness Alina knew just what she was looking for, and this year, dahhhlings, it looks like we are going red! Oh, but don’t think solid red, oh no, red and then some!…
Annie Nomination for Kevin
I want to give a big shout out to my friend Kevin Michael Richardson and his Annie Nomination, for his role as Willem Viceroy, “Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja. Back in the day, I worked with Kevin on Homeboys From Outer Space. No, I didn’t make that up! It was a real show and funny…
