Choom Lam is a up-and-coming animator based in Vancouver. She and her team have created several animations that have received critical acclaim. Unfortunately, I don’t think enough people have seen them, so I decided to post some of those animations here.
At the 2008 Animation Block Party, based in New York City, Choom won the award for Best Student Film for her Vancouver Film School cartoon animation, “In The Beginning.” Winning that award provided her with funding to create an environmental PSA for the 2009 Animation Block Party. That animation, titled “Rethink Happiness,” premiered this past summer. Again, I think these cartoon animations need more exposure. If you like them, share them with your friends and family.
I also added a third animation titled “The PenIsMightier” just because it’s funny. It was awarded the “Best Editing” prize at the Trick 17 Stop Motion Competition.
If you’re interesting in animation classes or schools, the prior mentioned Vancouver Film School was ranked 5th best in the world by 3D World Magazine. Other top schools include Sheridan Tech College located in Ontario, CalArts located in California, and Ringling located in Florida. Disney and Pixar have been known to prefer these animation schools, but as always, do thorough research before deciding on which schools are right for you.
