Nina Paley, "Sita Sings the Blues."
This is great. Cut-out animation, probably done with Flash.

Then again she might want to do this the hard way. I just read on her site that this series is a 3-year project to find closure over her former husband. Otherwise she would especially benefit from Moho. The cut-out animations were so well done that she really had me fooled into thinking those were Moho bones.
There's an interesting interview with Nina at http://www.studiodaily.com/filmandvideo ... /9520.html, especially interesting because she describes her way of "cutting corners" in many details. Food for thought for some of our "cheating" fans here ...
When I met Nina I asked her about Moho, and she said that she actually gave it a try, but decided to work in Flash because she was too far into that direction already. Given the amount of how she relied on loops and the use of symbols, Moho couldn't have helped her much.

She actually lives here in NYC, and is a member of ASIFA-EAST a local NY animation society so maybe I'll get a chance to meet her. Reading through her blog it's kind of scary how much she has to struggle just to pay her bills, even being a big independent animation star. I hope she can get some kind of distribution deal for Sita. I haven't seen it yet but maybe I'll get a chance eventually.
"Sita sings the Blues" won the big price in Annecy for Best animated feature. Hooray!
