Animation World Magazine, Issue 3.2, May 1998


June 1998 Jobs & Education and the Internet

Our June issue is focusing on Jobs and Education and features a sub-theme about the Internet. Chris Robinson is investigating the future of independents in Canada and how it relates to university programs. Jerry Beck define his "Essential Animation Library" and Kellie-Bea Rainey will profile Animation Toolworks' Video Lunch Box, a device that is changing the face of animation education from Cal Arts to elementary schools. And, what better way to learn about the animation business then to follow an actual production day to day? Barry Purves will chronicle his new work-in-progress Here's a How de do that he is creating for the U.K.'s Channel 4. This six month installment will follow all of the ups and downs of the production through Barry's personal diary. We will also survey university faculty members, industry executives, recruiters, artists and students about training, skills, the job market and expectations.

Our Internet section will feature three excellent, insightful articles. Michelle Klein-Hass will let us know where to find the coolest animation on the web, while Robert Gonzales will explain the many tools available for creating animated content and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each. We also have a real treat, in that, Kit Laybourne will present, "Under the Radar: Emerging Voices in Digital Animation."

This issue will also feature another first in a series. Master animation educator Glenn Vilppu will share his life drawing lessons with us in the Student Corner. Students: take advantage of this great opportunity! The Library of Congress will be profiled in our Hidden Treasures column and Wendy Jackson will report on Bra!ncamp, an executive think tank that was held in New York City. Film reviews will include two films for which everyone has been waiting: Disney's Mulan and Warner Bros.' Quest for Camelot. Plus, revered Disney greats, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, will discuss Pierre Lambert's book Pinocchio, with Charles Solomon.
