The Independent Animator

Lecture: Festivals and Distribution for the Independent Animator - Chris Walsh, S235 11 am

Life in animation is not all Pixar and Dreamworks. (Just ask the 500 artists and technical crew who recently got laid off from the latter.)

Some artists just want to make art in whatever medium is available to them. We call them "independent" and it's a viable strategy for many. In the past,  production and distribution were both major obstacles to independent work in animation, but powerful, inexpensive computers have largely eliminated the first as an obstacle, and the world-wide-interweb is in the process of eliminating the second.  Chris Walsh will be our guest speaker at this week's lecture to fill you in on recent developments along these lines.


Workshop: Demo Music Track Assessment & Discussion - Bruno Degazio, A151 - 2 pm

This week is the delivery deadline for the demo version of your music score from the U of T musicians. Sometimes questions arise at his point about the suitability of the music, and now is the time to address the problem with your composer.  This drop-in session is for you to bring in your demo track recording for review and discussion with myself and your colleagues.
