This week in AWN's Forums, a member wants to know if voicing a character will help the animation of that character. Discussion over the current economy and what that means for animators continues. How do you portray mental shifts in animated characters? A member wants some advice in searching for a studio space in Germany. A thread has been started touting Christmas animation: link away. A student has the opportunity to attend Rochester Institute of Art and Technology, New York or Academy of Art University, San Francisco, and wants some advice on which to choose.

As well as, tools for teaching animation, the business of animation and, as always, brand-new stuff to check out in show and tell!
