An animated thank you to the Frederator community

I couldn't believe it when I got the news a while ago, but my short "A Pug's Life" won Frederator's first Quarterly Prize for Cartoon Quality. This means I got a brand spanking new 21-inch Cintiq tablet from these generous and cartoon-lving folks.

So, I can't thank enough both Channel Frederator and all the community for making this happen and voting for my silly little film. I'm still giggling like a little girl scout. And since I can't bake cookies to everyone (or even know how to), I put together a small "thank you" animation to everyone.

Special thanks to Carrie and everyone at Fred that went through the kafkian nightmare of shipping a gigantic Cintiq tablet to São Paulo. You guys rock.

Oh, and happy new year to the lot of you.

Hello Pedro. I just came across an article in VFS website that talks about your career turn.
Well, the reason why I stumbled upon your story is because I'm considering going over there to study the animation program.
The funny thing is that I am an advertising copywriter in Mexico City whose ideal dream would be to become an animator, so your story made a surprising and immediate connection with my situation.

I just wanted to say that. If you ever have the time and will to tell me more about your experience, it would be great. My email adress is elmanza13@yahoo.com.mx

Love your work, man. Keep it up.
