Collabs 2013 is over... or is it?

This summer I have spent most of my time working on an exciting collaboration project, which represents a new and ground-breaking idea of how to get new ideas, new projects, new IP:s started in the animation arena of today.

"Collabs" is in part a collaboration project aimed at developing an original IP that all members own a part of, in part a course for primarily newly graduated animator's or just junior animators wanting to keep on developing their skills.  This course has TONS of instructions and learning material that comes with it.  That's the part of the enterprise that most interested me - to get a good chance to take part of a production, working as an animator, experiencing "the life on the pipeline" in an L.A.-based production and keep on LEARNING from the experience.

Collabs   -  the business-idea -  is the brainchild of Kenny Roy from Arconyx animation studios, who is not only a great animation teacher, producer and animator - but also a incredibly mindful and forward-thinking entrepreneur in the animation business!  If you want to know a little more about this collaboration project as a business model and perhaps get some idea of how it was conceived and set up - head over to the collabs homesite and check out what Kenny himself has to say about this project.

 

Now the summer collabs of 2013 is over.  Or is it....?   You never know - one day there just might be a most exciting continuation and opportunity blooming out of this intense two month course.

Anyway I'm happy to have been a part of it.  :-)
