Animation Brewery Demo - requires Quicktime 7.0

January 26, 2008
We are getting pretty excited here at the Brewery about the next few weeks. A lot has been going on behind the scenes and we should be announcing our projects soon. As for the last couple months, we recently concluded service work on two different television series': we produced Flash animation for the popular show "Chaotic" for Bardel Entertainment, and we provided rough animation for Collideascope Digital in Halifax on "Delilah and Julius". Currently we're engaged in creating storyboards for a new undisclosed TV series. More about that once its been released.

Currently we are looking for local animation and storyboard artists with TV production experience in Flash or Toonboom. We aren't hiring just yet but are building up our database for upcoming work. Contact us at jobs@animationbrewery.com Do check in from time to time if you have applied before. As well, update us with any new demo's you have (online links are preferred) and your resume.

Phew! Have we ever been busy...We have been animating in Flash on Chaotic for Bardel Entertainment since back in May. Its been a lot of fun but that is winding down in a few weeks time. Meanwhile we are in progress and ramping up on a new Flash production to be announced soon. Currently we are seeking local freelance and in-house animators for this new work so please contact us at jobs@animationbrewery.com if you are interested.

We are also very excited about our new location close to the intersection of Richards & West Hastings in downtown Vancouver. Its much larger than our previous spot which allows us to grow - and we ARE growing.

The International Partnering Forum and Vidfest is just around the corner. Glen and Stu will be in attendance and are looking forward to meeting the other delegates.

We are looking forward to attending the upcoming Mobile Game Conference Seattle, July 13-14 at the Meydenbauer Center. If you are planning to attend and would like to meet us please contact Stu Wenschlag for information.

On a related conference note, from September 20-24 we will be attending the 2006 Ottawa International Animation Festival & Television Animation Conference. We are looking forward to catching up with our far flung industry friends. Brazil will be highlighted this year which is something we are very excited about.

June 14-16, 2006
Vidfest and the New Media BC International Partnership Forum was held on Granville Island again this year. It was our second year in attendance at Vidfest and first time at the IPF. We met some really terrific folks who really are excited about the latest developments in new media. There is just so much going on its a tough job keeping abreast of the latest news. Vidfest was a great opportunity for us to keep current.

Glen Schachowskoj, Co-Owner, attends the Television Animation Conference & Ottawa International Animation Festival

“I had a great time at OIAF and the TAC. I re-acquainted with some old friends and made some new ones. The Festival and Conference were excellent, with informative seminars and enjoyable parties. The screenings were a highlight for me, getting to see some of the new and interesting stuff being done by others. I am looking forward to attending next year.”
