To James from Lei at the OIAF Animators picnic

James B, Lei Lei wanted me to try posting this video that I recorded at this years Ottawa International Animation Festivals' Animators Picnic. He has trouble accessing certain content in China so I thought I'd try uploading to my blog so that you can both see.

Everybody else, do yourself a favour and check out both of these blokes' websites. Your eyeballs will not regret.
