InaniMate: The People's Choice
5 April, 2012 3:55pmIn 2011, cute-as-a-button InaniMate stole the public's collective heart and got everyone feeling all gooey inside. Animators Micheal O'Donogue and Soulla Josephides couldn't believe their luck when their graduation film bagged them the People's Choice Award trophy and they were beaming from ear to ear for the rest of the night.
Their prize? A load of new film equipment, chosen by them, so there's no excuse not to enter Shorts again and bring home the gold!
