Future of Animation: Creative Advertising

Hosted by Animated Encounters

Tues 26 July, 17:00 Apple Store London, Free

Animated Encounters programmer Kieran Argo, hosts a panel discussion on the future of animation in creative advertising, as part of Rushes Soho Shorts Film Festival in London this July. The production of commercials continues to be the 'bread and butter' for many animation companies and often provides the only revenue that funds other productions such as short form and experimental work. With the prevalence of CG work expanding alongside traditional forms such as hand-drawn and stop-motion what are the pressures and constraints facing commercial animation production in today's market especially with the need to consider a multi-platform approach? Our panel of established and creative professionals will consider implications in choosing CG over stop frame, cost vs creativity, and deliberate on what commercial agencies want and school's are providing.

Panel members include:

Kieran Argo, Animation Programme Manager, Animated Encounters (Chair)

Joan Ashworth, Head of the Animation, Royal College of Art

Darren Walsh, Director, Passion Pictures

Martina Bramkamp, Senior Lecturer, Kingston University

Philip Hunt, Creative Director, Studio AKA
