The High Falls Film Festival and Animatus Studio present... WALLACE, GROMIT, CHICKENS, RAISINS AND ME: Teresa Drilling on Life as a Stop-Motion Animator.
Sunday, November 13, Noon. At the Little Theatre, 240 East Avenue, Rochester. Admission $7.00, students $6.50.
Fresh from her triumph as one of the principal animators for WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT, 20-year animation veteran Teresa Drilling will share the behind-the-scenes secrets of working with Aardman/Dreamworks on this wildly successful new film. Drilling has rubbed elbows with an odd cast of characters in her career: dancing raisins, talking potatoes, folded paper peppers, and stallions made of coal, not to mention our favorite cheese-loving inventor and his loyal canine pal. She's worked with advertising agencies J. Walter Thompson, NY; DDB Needham, SF; Grey London Ltd.; Foot, Cone & Belding, NY; and Young & Rubicam, NY for clients including Kellogg's, Clorox, Merck, Beecham's, Tropicana, Chili's Restaurants and Elizabeth Arden.
An upstate New York native and a graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology, Drilling received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation for her work on Will Vinton
