On Tuesday, April 3, 2007, animators Steve Ogden and Steven Topham were crowned winners at MOBIFEST LA, an event celebrating the best in made-for-mobile animation. The event was hosted by Mike Judge (Office Space, King of the Hill) and presented by The Animation Show and Mobifest Film Festival.
The Grand Prize was awarded to Baltimore-based artist and writer Steve Ogden for his animated short, Flakes. Runners-up in this category included: Tim Heiderich (Emergency 411: Atomic Bomb), Justin Cooper and Kun-I Chang (Havidol: Just What I Needed), Dave Carter (How Can I Say No To Sex at School) and Brad Wolfley (I Am Not a Biscuit). Honorable mentions were awarded to Dave Carter (Daddy and James) and Nigel Wood (One Small Step).
Steven Topham, a film studies graduate of UC-Santa Barbara, was the winner in the Nestle Butterfinger-sponsored "Sweet Dreams" category. Topham's submission, Strip Tease was singled-out for its creative use of 2D and 3D animation. In addition to receiving a year's supply of chocolate bars and a Microsoft Zune digital media player, Topham will get the opportunity to work on an upcoming viral marketing campaign for Nestle Butterfinger.
