Pipeline

Following the publication of the Accelerate Animation report we worked with partners across England on an initial series of events. Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

14 May 2014: Pipeline: Powered by Pecha Kucha at London College of Communication

 

In the Accelerate report survey, one of the key things that animators told us was that the most useful things they have learned in their careers has been from other animators and mentors. Academy Award nominated producer Sue Goffe at Studio AKA said: ’Seek out anyone prepared to talk about or teach you about their work and process and how they do it. Listen to a fraction of the stories that came before yours and you will benefit enormously.’

 

The Pipeline: Powered by PechaKucha invited 12 animators to share their knowledge, experience and ideas. Telling their own stories of how they have been inspired and influenced as they gained their own creative skills and learned their craft and business.

 

Speakers: Katerina Athanasopoulou, Phoebe Boswell, Emma Calder, Stephen Cavalier, Emily & Anne, Jonathan Hodgson, Greet Kallikorm, Jim Le Fevre, Mariano Melman and Nicola Schauerman.
