This Saturday July 20th, stop by room PR01 between 1pm and 7pm. Animation Resources members and special guests are providing critiques of aspiring animators, visual development artists and storyboard artists. Big studios will review your portfolio, but they won’t necessarily give you an honest critique to help you figure out what skills you really need to develop to be employable. The job of a studio recruiter is to find qualified candidates, not to help out unqualified ones. But Animation Resources’ sole purpose is to help young artists make the transition from gifted student to skilled professional. You need to talk to us!

Animation Resources continues its fruitful association with the Creative Talent Network again by participating in the CTN Road Trip in Burbank. We met a lot of great people last year and saw a lot of wonderful art. We’ll be there again this year on April 18th and 19th. Here is the website for the event. If you’re interested in animation and the arts, come on out and say hello!
A world of creativity and imagination will be revealed at the Downtown Burbank Arts Festival featuring 200 world-famous animators, trendsetting indie creators, cosplayers recreating favorite animated characters, live entertainment, and much more on San Fernando Boulevard between Burbank Town Center and the Holiday Inn on Saturday and Sunday, May 18-19 with extended hours from 11am to 7pm.

The Creative Talent Network will once again anchor the popular animation portion of the festival with the CTN Road Trip. The Road Trip will unite more than 100 visual effects, video-gaming, character designers, illustrators, and storyboard artists for the fourth straight year.
