Animation
World Magazine, Issue 2.4, July 1997
In Praise of June
Your issue this month was EXCELLENT! I think it liked it so well because
there was so much information as to suggestions for students and opportunity-type
information. Anyway, here are some of my favorite animation books:
Talking Animals and Other People by Shamus Culhane
Encyclopedia of Animation Techniques by Richard Taylor
(You stole my other faves, Animator's Workbook and Chuck Amuck)
- Mike Rauch
Dear Mike,
Thank you for writing. I'm sure other readers will enjoy taking a look at
these books.

The Editors
An Unrecognized School
Excellent information, I was so excited to find this link. I was disappointed
to not be mentioned as one of the schools in such a top notch publication.
CDIS Center for Digital Imaging and Sound in Burnaby BC (Vancouver, Canada)
has been producing artists and media professionals for almost twenty years.
CDIS has a twenty thousand square foot multimillion dollar facility utilized
for leading edge instruction in CGI, traditional animation and the integrated
arts. We also instruct film, video, motion picture cinematography, video
game production, multimedia, web masters and sound production. CDIS is an
authorized training center for Alias, an SGI training partner and a designated
educational facility for Softimage, Lightwave, 3D Studio, Electric Image
and many more top products.
Graduates of CDIS work at many places including Electronic Arts, MainFrame
(Vancouver), Black Cauldron (San Francisco), Frame Store (London) and many
other prestigious companies. We feel we deserve to be mentioned amongst
the many schools in your recent articles. Unlike many greedy school entrepreneurs,
we have not hiked up our tuition because of the almost desperate demand
for qualified people. Our tuition remain thousands and sometimes tens of
thousands cheaper. (Approximately $6,500 US per year). This is not done
at the expense of quality training. In fact CDIS is tops in training hours,
class size, and equipment access. I thank you for your time and look forward
to your response.

Executive Director, Center for Digital Imaging and Sound
Dear Mr. Hartvig-Nielsen,
Thank you for dropping us a line and letting us know about you. I am sure
this information will be useful to a large number of our student readers,
especially since the issue stressed the positive future in computer animation.
Thank you for taking the time to e-mail us and please, feel free to send
us further information regarding your school and alumni.
Sincerely,
The Editors
