Yesterday I was fortunate enough to attend a masterclass by animator Bill Plympton (I posted the event last week)
It was an inspiring event, with some great drawing: he showed how many of his characters are made from really basic shapes, and drew a tiny sketch on a postcard for each attendee (I choose Guard Dog) And how does he survive as an independent animator? He is not beholden to any corporation he said, and then showed the following commercial, as he does do commercials:
His Dogma explains how you can make money creating independent animation: keep it short, cheap and funny!
Next Wednesday, April 6, 2016 at 7:00PM NYC ACM SIGGRAPH is holding its annual Industry Spotlight which is a great opportunity for networking. So if you can come into the city then, do!
You would need to go into the city for it, but Animation Nights New York organized, as part of Out to See Festival, a Master Class with Bill Plymton on April 2. Tickets are available through Eventbrite. For free.
Next week at SVA: BLUE SKY STUDIOS Presents: THE MAKING OF PEANUTS. Its free but you have to register to secure a seat.
