By Kodinkenji | Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 1:41am

Hey there,

My name's Amit Tishler. I'm a 2D/Flash animator (also a concept artist, storyboarder and character designer) with a BFA in Animation. I have experience as both an independent film maker, a freelance animator, and a in-house animator for a local studio (3 full in house TV productions as a lead animator).

I'm looking for a job abroad, US, Canada or The UK in order to advance in my career and experience beyond what the Israeli Industry can provide. I'm thinking about the bigger picture in my future career.

What should I expect from my agent/representation?

By adamcalfee | Saturday, August 15, 2009 at 1:19pm

Hi, hello. I am relatively new to all of this, but I have started my own studio and things started strong, but have been tapering down. My studio is MoreFrames (www.moreframes.com). We broke out with a few music videos which have been rather successful both online and at festival. Since that however, we haven't got much of anything. We have had multiple "interested parties" but nothing seems to pan out.

Few months back i got a 2d animation project for my studio from one of the US animation company . I also signed in contract & exchanged it via email . Everything went fine & project was successfully completed & also i handed over him the final stuff as per contract.He paid us half of the money ! AndIts been a month now i have contacted the guy/owner of the company via email many a times about the last payment which he still owes & i guess he is not interested in paying it & giving silly excuses like " i am still figuring out how to pay you "

Wanting to Start My Own Animation Business

By gunraidan | Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 7:17am

I've always wanted to start my own animation business. However I know that I probably should start off small instead of going directly for stuff like TV shows and movies and the like as you most likely have to either work your way up to that status or be really lucky. I also plan to really do my homework as I will research with what made successful companies blowup as well as what made many unsuccessful companies go down.

Needing advice

Hell everyone. I need some advice if you guys don't mind. I'm thinking pitching a action/adventure/superhero cartoon to the networks. I'm in the process of doing the copyright now. I'm a writer/artist, but I can write better than I can draw. I'm working on a bible now. I did most of the character designs already and bios for all my characters.

General Model Sheet cost in US

By BrioCyrain | Wednesday, July 22, 2009 at 8:19am

Animation writer who loves...Animation!

I was wondering what is the general model cost here in the US since Character Designs are practically essential for animators for an animated film or series.

I've been chatting with a korean studio about their services and they said they do 2500-3000 USD per model. Is this cheaper or around the range in the US?

If someone can answer this it would help, thanks.
