Hello all! Here’s the trailer for Animation Breakdown 2015! Bartkira will be screened among the shorts on Wednesday December 10 at 7pm and the festival goes on until Monday December 14. Get your tickets now!

Los Angeles! Bartkira is being screened as part of Animation Breakdown’s opening night roundup on December 10. I’ll be at the screening and in town the rest of the weekend!

Annotations are up on YouTube! You can turn them off by clicking on the gear icon, but if you want to find out who animated which shot and where you can see more of their work, click away! There will also be an HD render without the VHS effects so you can see a higher quality version of everyone’s work. (And so I can fix a few typos. Very sorry Stephanie Blakey and Phui Jing Ling.)

Do not re-upload the Bartkira trailer. Do not re-upload the Bartkira trailer with ads attached. I can’t believe I even have to say this.

All of us on Bartkira worked on this FOR FREE. We submitted our time for free to create something fun. Loading our work onto your account with commercials attached so you can make a buck not only disrespects all of the work we’re doing (because I’m pretty sure none of us are seeing a cent of it), it puts the project in jeopardy by attempting to profit off of someone else’s copyright. No-one benefits from a ZipCar commercial attached to the front when the original work goes straight to the video.

Once more for the people in the back, Bartkira is commercial free!

If you have a copy up somewhere else, you and your video host have been notified. Do not do this in the future. If you have questions about hosting an alternate language version or a comparison with the original trailer, you can contact me at bartkiraroadshow [at] gmail [dot] com.
