ANIMATION RESOURCES STUDENT MEMBERSHIP DISCOUNT ENDS SOON!

HEADS UP FOR THE ART CENTER STUDENTS WE SPOKE WITH MONDAY NIGHT! Animation Resources’ discounted Student Membership ends this weekend. JOIN NOW if you want to take advantage of the lower price. It’s $50 a year if you join today, and Saturday it will be $60.

CLICK HERE TO JOIN AND GET THE DISCOUNT!

If you’re on the fence about joining, consider this… Animation Resources members have grandfathered in dues rates. That means that student members will continue to pay the rate they joined at for the term of their schooling, and General Members will never have their dues raised as long as they maintain membership. Dues will likely be raised next year, and we have plans to offer MANY more benefits of membership to our members. Those who support us now, will save money on their dues in the future.

Thanks to Ron Carpenter for the great photo from Monday’s event at Art Center!

Animation Resources Members: Reference Pack 019 Is Now Available For Download!

Animation Resources Members: A new Reference Pack has just been posted on the members only page. Login and you’ll find some incredible images and animation to inspire you and help you grow as an artist.

This time we have a fabulous e-book packed with high resolution scans of watercolors by Arthur Rackham. Rackham was one of the greatest book illustrators of all time, and we are sharing two of his most famous books with you- Rip Van Winkle and Grimm’s Fairy Tales. These are significant because they are the images that inspired the designers at Disney to create Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Also included in Reference Pack 19 are three very early Betty Boop cartoons with animation by Grim Natwick. Natwick was one of the greatest animators who ever lived and his animation of Betty Boop is a landmark in personality animation.

Rounding out the RefPack are a few films by the Canadian experimental animator, Norman McLaren. McLaren’s films embody the purest form of animation imaginable, completely removed from technique, focusing totally on timing, shape and color.

We hope you find these materials useful in your work. Click on the link to the Members Only page to access the files.
