Gary Albright, vice president of creative services and off air promotions
for Atlanta, Georgia-based Cartoon Network, has awarded The Classical
Animation Society of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) a $500
grant on behalf of Cartoon Network. The society will use the money to help
fund its activitites such as last February's MULAN Event which included a
screening of Disney's MULAN, clips of various stages of animated scenes,
and a workshop in layout design by Disney artist Bill Hodman. The Classical
Animation Society is a student organization founded to unite the animation
students at SCAD. To date, the Society has received support from
ASIFA-Hollywood, ASIFA-East, Animation World Network, Animation World
Magazine, Disney artists, DreamWorks SKG, Warner Bros., Primal Screen in
Atlanta, and the local Radio Disney radio station in Savannah, GA. Members
of the Society are working on 2KJ, an independent animated film by Larry
Lauria. A Classical Animation Society website is being planned and will be
hosted by Animation World Network.
SCAD President Matt Shumway and Vice President Lamont Wayne have written
reviews for Animation World Magazine. Their reviews of FUTURAMA and Cartoon
Network's ED, EDD N EDDY, respectively, can be found at:
