THIS WEEKEND!
Animation Resources is hosting monthly Discord parties on its Discord server. Join us the last Saturday of every month to participate in discussions and network with fellow artists from all over the world. The party starts at 4:30 pm (PDT) and the program begins at 5:30 pm.
THIS MONTH’S PROGRAM
Our schedule of monthly programs under the banner Discord Discussions continues Saturday April 24th!
We’re used to seeing certain types of animation: funny animals, superheroes, princesses, anime, and so on. We’ve seen live actions films of every genre, but when have you ever seen an animated horror film? We know animation does comedy and action well, but we’ve only begun to scratch the surface of the medium’s potential in other genres. Join Animation Resources President Stephen Worth and Board Member Davey Jarrell this Saturday, April 24th, on Discord as they discuss the possibilities of animation in less explored genres. We’ll break down the techniques and impact of the animated horror film “Borley Rectory” as well as some 20th century Russian propaganda films. All of the films being discussed are in the current Reference Pack. Doors open at 4:30 PDT and the program starts at 5:30 PDT!

ABOUT DISCORD
Discord is a free chat app that supports video, voice chat and text chat. Discord servers are divided into channels, which all have their own subject or theme of discussion. Members are assigned roles which helps everyone keep track of who’s who. The Animation Resources Discord channel is a virtual meeting place for our supporters. You can meet other Animation Resources members, talk with the people behind the scenes at our organization, and attend lectures and screenings— all without leaving your home. It’s free and open to everyone in the creative community. If you’d like more info on how Discord works, see this article: What is Discord?
