NOV 28: Discord Discussion- Acute Animation Case Study

Animation Resources Discord

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

Acute Animation

Our schedule of monthly programs under the banner Discord Discussions continues this Saturday November 28th!

In September, Animation Resources held a Discord seminar titled, Advice for Independent Animators. Board Member Davey Jarrell recently formed a small animation company, Acute Animation, with two of his friends in order to produce animation independently of the big studios. Join Animation Davey and his two business partners, DeLon Warren and Dom Bournés, on Discord this Saturday, November 28th, as they discuss how they are applying the information from September’s seminar and what their long term goals are for the company.

SEPT 26: Discord Discussion- Advice For Independent Animators

SATURDAY 5:30pm (PDT)! Don’t miss it!

Animation Resources Discord

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

Advice for Independent Animators

Our schedule of monthly programs under the banner Discord Discussions continues this Saturday September 26th!

All artists aren’t the same. There are a lot of people giving advice on how to get a job at a studio working on features and TV shows, but people who aspire to “go it alone” as an independent animator are often left on their own to figure out how to build a successful career. There are strategies and responsibilities that come with being your own boss. You have freedom to control your own destiny, so you want to make sure you keep moving forward. Animation Resources is there to help.

Join us Saturday for an informal discussion of the advantages of pursuing a career as an independent animator. Learn how to avoid the pitfalls and chart your course for yourself. Find out how wide the world of cartooning is! Have fun meeting other like-minded folks!

Goes To School (1983)

Roman Kachanov / Soyuzmultfilm

This time we are sharing the last two films featuring the children’s character, Cheburashka. We previously shared the first two films in RefPack024 and RefPack028. Created for a children’s story by Eduard Uspensky, the character is best known from this series of films produced by the Soyuzmultfilm studio, directed by Roman Kachanov. Four films featuring the character were produced between 1969 and 1983. Shapoklyak and Cheburashka Goes To School are the third and fourth in the series, released in 1974 and 1983.

Cherubashka

The animation in these films is brilliant, and it’s well worth still framing through to study how the various personalities are put across through the walk cycles and gestures. The puppets limit the flexibility of facial expressions, but the animators more than make up for it through the way the characters move. The principles behind stop motion, hand drawn animation and CGI are all the same. The different disciplines have a lot to learn from each other.
