Big ideas can make anyone feel small
Craig Davis, JWT’s Worldwide Chief Creative Officer and this year’s Cannes Film & Press Lions Jury President has been brought down to size for the festival’s 2008 viral campaign.
Students get offered a toon up
NickToons have teamed up with Skillset and launched a competition to offer student animators the chance to have their work broadcast on the digital channel and a paid summer internship at the channel’s London offices. The competition offers undergraduates a unique opportunity to get a head-start in the industry and is open to students at the seven Skillset accredited animation and television production universities: Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication; Arts Institute Bournemouth; University for the Creative Arts, Farnham; Bournemouth University; Glamorgan University; University of Wales, Newport and the University of Teesside.
Tracey Cleland, Creative Manager of NickToons said of the competition, ‘This is a huge opening for every aspiring animator and a fantastic opportunity for us to work with the new wave of UK talent - we can't wait to watch the entries.'…and neither can we.
To enter, students must submit an idea for a funny 30-second animated short. Up to 80 will be selected to enter a professional pitching and treatment process at Nickelodeon that will take them through the key stages of animation development to final delivery and broadcast on NickToons.
