Held in PR 01: Animation Resources, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, members are providing critiques of aspiring animators, visual development artists and storyboard artists. Big studios will review your portfolio, but they won't necessarily give you an honest critique to help you figure out what skills you really need to develop to be employable. That makes sense. The job of a studio recruiter is to find qualified candidates, not to help out unqualified ones. But Animation Resources' sole purpose is to help young artists make the transition from gifted student to skilled professional. You need to talk to us! Members scheduled to participate are: David Pez Hofmann, Animationresources.org Director of Communications storyboard artist/animation character layout (Muppet Babies, Tuca & Bertie, New Looney Tunes, The Ricky Gervais, Tom & Jerry: Back to Oz), Taber Dunipace, Animationresources.org Vice President of Animation Resources and Animation Educator lead animator/lead artist/instructor (Zombocalypse, Fetch Force, Mt. San Antonio College and Norco College), Joshua James Shaw, creative director Marvel TV, and Sean McNally concept artist, visual development artist/co-director (A Gentlemen's Duel).
