So that pretty much sums it up! We've had a pretty good 2007 here at Fatkat. Lots of ups and downs as is the norm in this industry. We've completed some great projects, worked with some great people and got paid on time!

Let's hope in 2008 we get to spend more time outside the studio. Animation is cool work, but let's aim at getting our work done and getting out he door so we can enjoy the other side of life! We all work too much, the French have it down pat!

Coming up in 2008; a continuation on 3 Delivery, our biggest, brightest and most challenging project yet. A fourth season of Sprays! Pilots for Teletoon and we're only in our first week of January!

Rock on Everyone,

Gene.
