Bristol, United Kingdom – Show Me The Animation, the community run by animators for animators, has been busy over the past few months expanding its offering that aims to support the independent animation community. The Show Me The Animation team are now delighted to announce the release of a specially curated iOS app, which has just been updated to Version 2.0. The app aims to showcase the best animation from around the world, from both award-winning animators to up-and-coming animation talent.
Now available to download via the Apple App Store for iOS devices, Version 2.0 increases the wealth of animation content available. The App features a selection of 32 short films hand selected by the Show Me The Animation for you to enjoy. The short films selected offer an eclectic mix of styles from across the globe and between them have been screened at hundreds of festivals and won bags full of awards.
App developer Jake Hobbs stated “Whilst running Show Me The Animation I have the pleasure of seeing hundreds of great animated short films, often these are produced on shoe-string budgets and from the pure love and dedication of their talented directors. The app is our attempt at creating mechanisms in which filmmakers can earn revenue from their creations and support the production of their future work.”
Users of the app have the flexibility of either streaming or downloading each film on their device, meaning films can be viewed with or without a Wifi connection, perfect for the morning commute. Each film can also be shared across social networks as well as offering links to connect with the filmmakers themselves. So if you find a favourite film you can help spread the word about it directly from within the app…
Alongside the 32 short films the app also includes Show Me The Animation’s Faces of Animation series featuring interviews with top industry talent, the Show Me The Animation AniJam Films (7 original short films created in just 48 hours) as well as all of the monthly Do It In Ten animation entries (quick fire ten second animations set to a monthly theme). There are also set to be regular updates to the app with new films added periodically and Show Me The Animation already have a number of films they are really excited about adding in the future. They are also accepting applications for films to be considered in future updates. So what are you waiting for, get on over to the App Store and download the App today.
