Duality of Animation
As a pursuit, animation offers a lot of options… Should you go the independent route or shoot for a studio position? Do you want to supervise or follow a creative lead? Is it better to have a personal style or be versatile enough to draw in any style? The answers may surprise you!

Join us Saturday for an informal discussion of the options that are open to you. Understanding yourself and your strengths and weaknesses are the key to finding your place in the field of animation. Animation Resources is here to help you do that.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

One of the biggest mysteries about the way cartoons were made in the classic era is musical timing. The number of frames an action would take to perform was planned along with the music that would accompany the movement. This synergy of timing and music is a big part of why golden age cartoons are so much more rhythmic and synchronized than modern animation. Davey Jarrell has reverse engineered Chuck Jones’s notes for "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and he will break it all down and explain how it works. The program takes place in the Animation Resources Discord Server and it starts at 5:30pm PST on May 30th. Don’t miss it!
