In short we are a community for animators based in the North (UK), who want to help and represent ourselves in the animation world by thinking global and acting local. We share work, discuss techniques, and debate relevant topics. All skill sets are welcome, from enthusiasts to students to professionals, and anyone who could contribute to the creation of animations. Character designers, writers, model makers, sound designers, general arty people, plus post production and games can come join us and make themselves at home.
The meetings are in Newcastle, Manchester and Leeds roughly every 2-3 months. This is with big thanks to our sponsors Creative England, University of Bradford and Imagine Animation Magazine. Manchester evenings are looked after by freelance animator and fellow campus member Kim Emson with our next meeting at the sharp project campus Thursday 2nd May from 6pm. It’s really informal and just sociable, which is great for solo freelancers working from home, and those that work in dark rooms, which is why our next event is at the sharp campus!
In the future we are going to be a bigger entity offering a whole lot more via a dynamic website linking members together and providing a one-stop portal into the exciting world of animation. Membership will be open as widely as possible to everyone interested in animation; animation and special effects companies and individuals. We hope to give discounts, special services, insight and more variety of events still to come. Wether it’s the obvious tools of the trade you're after or a trip to specsavers. We want to help. We are a not-for-profit organisation, run with the interests of animation at the heart of what we do. Details of our membership packages to be announced shortly when our new website goes live - meanwhile please sign up to receive our free e-newsletter at http://eepurl.com/pyRdj and hook up on our social media sites facebook.com/AllAnimated @allanimateduk.
