Hello everyone,

I have set up a new video marketing production blog www.produsive.com  and i am writing an article on the 'South American' affect, mainly looking at the quality talent coming out of Argentina and Brazil. I have experience of working with such talent, and want to look at why there is such talent coming from this area. So i first want to look at the universities and what they are doing differently, is it just the culture?!

I have to give a short talk on this very broad and open ended topic and was wondering if anybody had any thoughts or examples on how contemporary animation practice (film, tv) has influenced or affected culture and/or research.

Any insight would be very interesting.

All the best,

Animation courses/degrees in Australia??

Hi everyone.

So basically I was wondering if anyone on here knows of any courses or degrees, offered through Univeristy or any other place of education, in Australia that are perfect for someone interested in a career in Animation/illustration. 

I'm essentially a complete newbie when it comes to animation, having only recently seriously gotten into it, but I have been drawing since a young age. I was the kid who would spend hours creating my own characters and then making numerous homemade comics about them haha.

Hello there. My name is Edvin and I come from Bosnia. I've recently decided to try and create an animation project similar to the video shown on the link I posted below. My company is in the same industry (metal sheet roofing). I've never done any kind of 3D animation so I'd appreciate any beginner advice but my main concern is - like I mentioned - what software is used to create specifically what's shown in the video.

Hi,

My name is Richard and I am looking to produce a set of character design and animation tutorials.

I'm interested in what people on this forum would find most valuable in a tutorial series?

Is it back to basics with the 12 principles of animation?

Is it about the basics movement mechanics?

Would you want to learn about the dynamics of creature movement?

How about how to get started using the software? What 2D software is most used out there? Flash, Toonboom?

Hi,

I'm new here and to animation in general and hoping to get some advice. I home educate my six year old son who is obsessed with 3D animation and game design. I've been hugely impressed by his motivation to learn at such a young age and he really wants to know how to use programs such as 'Blender' and to learn more about sketching and shading to help design his own characters.

How do I measure the duration of the animation I'm working on?

Forums 
The Educator's Forum

Hi, guys! I'm new here and I'm also new writing cartoon scripts and drawing storyboards for animation projects. My previous experience was with mobile/desktop games but I confess I'm loving the animated cartoon world. Anyway, the thing is I'm writing a script and I don't know how to measure the amount of time the speeches and actions have. How do I do that? Do I need to record the characters to get an idea?

I am in business developement / consulting and i want to make a short video to get a concept across.

Looking for a program where I can make a 3D model of a car drive from point a - b in a straight line. I want to add in 3D objects around it and possibly have the camera angle follow the car as it is moving. The whole video would be 3D models.

Which program would be best for this?

3D Animation in Los Angeles

Forums 
The Educator's Forum

I recently gained an interest in animation, but have realized that my poor drawing skills will make it impossible for me to ever become a 2D animator (I have started to learn how to draw, but realistically I know I won't be able to compete with some of the talent out there). However, I've recently learned that 3D animators do not actually need to be amazing at drawing. I'd like to take a class in 3D animation to see if it's really for me before I go out and try to find a multiple year program.
