PROVO ¢¨ The first animated film created by Brigham Young University students won a “student Emmy” and a bronze medal at the student Academy Awards.
So, will BYU’s second short film be an encore performance?
Students have completed “PetShop” and will unveil it Monday to selected audiences.
BYU plans to present the four-minute “short” at animation festivals around the world this winter, which is how the award-winning “Lemmings” built momentum last year, starting with clips shown at the Cannes Film Festival.
Animated shorts have a long history, from Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig to Pixar Studios’ popular computer-generated animation. BYU students use computer technology to learn artistic and technical skills, which in turn make them marketable to DreamWorks and other animation and special effects companies.
“We’ve been really successful in finding that niche the studios like,” BYU technology professor Brent Adams said. “We have the right kind of students, and we work on these group animation projects so they can use both the artistic and technical sides of their brains.”
The animation program is 4 years old and BYU graduates have worked on such projects as “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
Each BYU film represents the joint project for a senior class of animation students. “Lemmings” was completed by the senior class two years ago and “PetShop” was the project for last year’s seniors.
Trent Halvorsen, a Layton native now living in Syracuse, was the director for “PetShop.” He graduated from BYU in April and works for Avalanche Software, a Utah video game company. One of his projects is a video game for “Chicken Little,” the new Disney animated movie due to be released in theaters next year.
“I do mostly the mini-movies in the game,” said Halvorsen. “I’m doing the story for Chicken Little in the game. A lot of what I’m doing right now is similar to what I did on ‘PetShop’ last year.”
Each year, BYU’s senior class of animation students gathers and listens to pitches from anyone with an idea for the senior project. “PetShop” is the brainchild of Logan Deans, a former BYU football player and a film student.
In the film, a not-so-lovable chinchilla desperate to leave a pet shop does his best to win the attention of his potential owner, Billy, who seems more interested in a lizard in a neighboring cage.
The four-minute film took more than a year to complete and involved 18 BYU seniors and other students. They used textures and lighting schemes to emulate the characteristics of a 3-D hand-painted illustration to give “PetShop” a distinct look, Adams said.
Synthesis, BYU’s premiere jazz ensemble, performed the music for the film, along with performers from University Singers.
Both Halvorsen and Adams think “PetShop” will outperform “Lemmings.”
“Most people that see ‘PetShop ‘ think it will play better than ‘Lemmings,’ ” Adams said. “I know the students spent a lot more time in the look of the animation. The textures are better, the lighting is better ¢¨ there’s just a ton more things going on.”
BYU officials are considering ways to distribute the films locally, including the possibility of selling a compilation DVD with both shorts at the BYU Bookstore.
The school has produced a DVD of “Lemmings” complete with bonus features, bloopers and a short piece on the animation program, but it is not yet available commercially.

Looks like some of the other criminals you’ve apprehended!
Friend Eric, with the lunker of his life!
Help!!!!!!!!! It’s SALMOZILLA!!!!! This 43 lb. monster was caught by Kris Mohandie on a 6 weight fly rod on 3 x tippet. The fight was awesome as it took some 45 minutes to land over 1/4 of mile away from where it was caught. The beast broke my reel lying on the side of the boat and stuck the dangling flesh fly in my hand and ripped off the line like butter! Anyway landing this on a 6 wt rod with 3 X tippet has got to be some kind of Klamath Record?? The tale of SALMOZILLA lives on brother!!
WE LET HIM GO!!!
(Is he peeing on me? I couldn’t tell with all the rain, sleet and snow that day!)
When Kris landed this beast it was obvious to me this guy catches the biggest fish every where he goes. Last Year he caught a steelhead with me on the Trinity River that was almost 14 lbs and now this monster!!!
Meanwhile, Mark Furman is catching guppies in Idaho!!
Way to go Kris Mohandie – Made the San Francisco Chronicle with this catch!!
KRIS MOHANDIE IS THE SIZZLER OF THE DECADE!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON SIZZLER OF THE DECADE!!

Hello All,
I was just thinking how things kind of catch on as a good idea, and I think taking down those four dams on the Klamath is a great idea! Fish ladders or better yet water ways for salmon are necessary for all life. We must do everything we can to allow the salmon to spawn in their natural habitate.
We will continue to speak for the salmon and pray for the old time salmon to make their way back up to the high country rivers and tributaries in greater numbers, like the picture of the one I have attached. When I was a kid this is what I remember catching.

Klamath dam deal struck
John Driscoll/The Times-Standard
Article Launched: 11/13/2008 01:27:02 AM PST
Click photo to enlarge The federal government and Pacificorp have reached an agreement in principal on removing four dams on the Klamath River and have floated the deal to tribes, fishermen, farmers and conservation groups.
The White House is expected to release details of the plan today, but sources say the agreement includes beginning to tear down the dams by 2020, with Pacificorp putting tens of millions of dollars toward the effort.
Participants in the briefing were being tightlipped about the deal, which until today was confidential.
“It’s going in the right direction,” said Steve Rothert — with the group American Rivers — about the agreement.
The dams have for decades blocked salmon from migrating into the upper reaches of the Klamath River, and salmon and other fisheries have suffered. The four dams that are the target of the proposal are Iron Gate, Copco I, Copco 2, and J.C. Boyle. The Pacificorp project in total produces up to 151 megawatts of power a year. It would be the largest dam removal project in U.S. history.
In 2004, Pacificorp applied for a new license for the dams, triggering a massive review by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. FERC recommended keeping the dams in place, but federal fisheries agencies demanded that fish ladders be built to pass salmon upstream.
The California Energy Commission and the U.S. Department of the Interior have estimated that removing the dams could be $32 to $286 million cheaper for Pacificorp than leaving them in place but having to build fish ladders and make other required changes.
An earlier agreement among 26 agencies, tribes and other stakeholders addressed a host of other issues the basin has struggled with. It looked to improve conditions for salmon, improve the Klamath’s notorious water quality and secure irrigation supplies for farms upstream. The agreement did not contain a dam-removal deal, however, and some groups criticized those who signed onto the arrangement without that provision.
Humboldt County Supervisor Jill Geist said she appreciated the hard work of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski, the U.S. Interior Department and Pacificorp.
“I believe that the agreements in principle are largely consistent with the work of the Klamath settlement group to date,” Geist said, “and now we have a green light to finalize this agreement.”
Late follow-up: Had a great trip with Aaron, as usual. Good fishing!

Hi Jack,
I have a couple of clients that might be driving into Argentina in March. They might want to fish a couple of days on the Rio Patagonia. Do you know your schedule yet? If you are interested, send me your rates.

Hi Jack-
A check for $ 390 is in today’s mail …the extra 20 is for costs to
mail the book to:
Foster Reed – 1696 Jackson Corners Rd – Red Hook NY 12571
The 370 is either payment in full for the day together (2 rods) on
December 19; or half payment for that day and a day of rambling in
Chiloe…I don’t quite know about Chiloe yet (we may stay at
PuertoNativo that has an included guiding around service), but once I
hear back on that I’ll know if we are open for a day of you and Carola.
Best luck – Foster
Just got reduced $80,000, new price $595.000. Great property lets go down there. Got any lead you can give me this piece.

I think it best for you to take two Delrin bushing with you also . You
can always sand them down to make the perfect fit will show you when you
stop by up here. Sounds like all is OK but 2 cm is too large with out a
bushing but the 2 cm dia is just a bit small for the OD on the bushing
but you can sand the fit in or bore the bushing out. You are in the
right ball park and I would guess it will not be much of a problem for you
Bruce
Jack,
Let’s go fish on the 17th and the 18th. I’ll probably stay at the
Hi-Lo and was wondering if I could round trip it with you as I’ll be by
myself on this trip. Give me a contact number, and I will call when I
get to Weed.
Looking
forward to it,
Jim
Hi Jack,
Have the recent rains blown out any of the rivers? It seems like Northern Cal all the way up to Washington has been pretty wet. The good news is I had hoped they might have brought some new fish into the rivers you fish. I was following up on your open dates next week. It looks like you¡Áre going to get some rain soon and I was wondering what the fishing will be like next week. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hello Jack,
I have an odd question. I’ve been looking for a mother and son, and all I know for sure is the mother is named Maureen, and the son is David, late 30’s, early 40’s, who I believe were from Mt. Shasta. I googled all three and came up with your website. PLEASE tell me the picture I see of Maureen and David are of mother and son, and you know where I can find them? Believe it or not, this involves an inheritance.
Thank you so much,
Kim Castilla
Hi Jack,
I left you a message last weekend confirming that we are willing to change our trip on the 14th from the Trinity to the Klamath if you think that it’s a good idea considering the lower numbers of fish in the trinity so far. Since the trip’s a week from now I wanted to make sure you got that message and try to finalize the details on where we need to be at what time, etc. Let me know when you get a chance. Hope the fishing/guiding is going well. Thanks.
Ryan
Hi Jack, congratulations!
I appreciate the offer but I think the soonest we would plan to move, assuming all goes as expected, would be this summer after our girls are out of school in May/June.
I want you to know how much I enjoy your blog. Seeing the mountains and rivers adds a bit of peace to hectic days. Hope you are well. Rick
Hello All,
My last email I forgot to attach the salmon, so here it is. This was the more of a normal size of salmon we caught when I was a kid. This is the old time salmon we sang about at the War Dance.
