Creative Planet, AWN's parent company, has launched the beta version
of the new CreativePlanet.com,
a cutting-edge portal for
entertainment industry professionals. The editors who bring you
industry-leading online publications such as Animation World Network,
DirectorsWorld and VFXPro have scoured the Web to assemble and
present the most valuable news, links and job services, along with
discussion forums and a Research Center providing you with the most
up-to-date data and information affecting your career. The initial
focus of the portal is on the movie industry. However, over the
coming weeks Creative Planet will be expanding its content and
editorial into areas such as the television and music industries, as
well as launching new feature sets and directories. We invite you to
visit CreativePlanet.com, share your thoughts and join our community.
Help the Creative Planet grow! If you know of top animation books,
directories, job services, events and other resources around the
world, please submit them to us by sending an email to editor@awn.com.
