NEW-MLTU-LOGOthenetworkMeltdown University Presents: The Network – Animation

Hi — Jim Higgins, Meltdown University’s Program Director here to tell you about the latest event from Meltdown University: The Network. Our subject this time is Animation!

After our last successful workshop and day of networking about comics, I wanted to continue the idea of having an afternoon where aspiring and beginning artists and writers can learn some of the basics of a creative business. This time the focus is Animation. You’ll learn what kind of jobs there are, what kind of skills the work entails (some you can learn right here at Melt U!), and how you actually apply and get into the Animation industry. Like the comics biz, it’s not easy but we’ll give you as much info as we can to help you give it a shot.

The day will consist of talks, an interview with a jack-of-all-trades animator, activities to help attendees focus their ideas about what they want to do in animation, all ending with free time to socialize, chat, network and make connections, or just talk animation and comics with like-minded humans. Here’s the schedule:

Introduction
 I’ll start the day with a brief overview of the animation business, some history, and a description of some of the jobs and studios.

An Interview with Kyle Carrozza

I’ll talk on stage with cartoonist and animator Kyle Carrozza. Kyle is known for his web comic, Dumm Comics’ Frog Raccoon Strawberry and his Nicktoons cartoon pilot, MooBeard the Cow Pirate. He’s provided storyboards for Fanboy & Chum Chum and Disney’s Fish Hooks. He’s known in entirely different circles for the odd songs he records as TV’s Kyle and as half of the nerdcore duo Scooter Picnic.

Meet, Workshop, Charge Up Your Brain
You’ll spend an hour and a half taking some of what you’ve learned and as well your own ideas and engaging in workshop activities designed to focus your ideas, generate new ones, and to help you make decisions about what you might do or create if you entered the world of animation.

Network and Chill
The rest of the time will be spent informally, with all of us chatting and having fun. This is a good time for you to show others your artwork or portfolios, pitches or minicomics, or even see if there’s someone you might want to collaborate on a project with. Melt U will provide some refreshments and music. And a good time will be had!

When: Saturday, March 23rd, from 1-5pm
Where: Meltdown Comics! Of course!
Cost: A mere $10. Purchase Ticket Here

We had very good attendance last time so we strongly advice that you get your tickets in advance to reserve a seat.
