Toon Boom Animation announced its participation in the China Trade Mission led by Québec Premier Jean Charest. During the trade mission Toon Boom will present three awards to some of its customers and partners, as well as sign a development agreement.
The awards will be presented to Fan Ling, from the Animation Department of China Central Television (CCTV), for their loyalty and adoption of Toon Booms technology; to Professor Yu Shao Fei, of the Stage Design Department of the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, for being the first school in China to choose Toon Boom Harmony; and to Li Zhong Qiu and Joan Ding from Dison Computer Graphics & Image, one of Toon Booms business partners, for their exceptional performance in the Chinese market.
