I’ve been looking forward to this for months. The CTN Animation Expo starts Friday in Burbank, CA. To my knowledge this is the first-ever event of its kind. Artists and creatives from all over the Hollywood animation scene will be gathered under one roof for three days of inspiring seminars, workshops, and networking. Lots of artists will be exhibiting their work and some of the big studios in town will be scouting for talent. There’s going to be a lot going on and the event is generating a lot of buzz. Highlights include:
- Panels and Presentations…click here for schedule.
- A tribute to legendary Cartoonist Ronald Searle.
- Spotlight Booksignings and Exclusive Sketchbook Releases.
- Speed Talent sessions—show your portfolio, ask questions, meet a mentor.
- Screenings: “The Secret of the Kells”, “Banjo The Woodpile Cat”, and a surprise late night screening 11pm on Saturday… sshhhhhh!
