What is your name and your current occupation?
Hans Perk, director, editor, compositor, head of IT at A. Film, Denmark, and CEO and producer for A. Film L.A., Inc.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I have never done an honest day’s work, sorry. I started studying Art History at the University of Amsterdam, but found that I was itching to put my pencil to the paper myself, and as such I have only worked in animation since 1979.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I was proud to work on the 1986 Academy Award winning short film Anna & Bella, as assistant director, animator and editor. The director and head animator, legendary Börge Ring and myself were the only two people working on that film on a daily basis. After that, basically all of A. Film’s output since 1988, in most capabilities, but especially Miffy the Movie – which I directed.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I was born in Amsterdam, Holland, and started my interest in high school as collector of Disneyana, which soon made me wonder Continue reading

Ed Anderson, CEO Mongadillo Studios

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I was a Caricature artist at a Six Flags amusement park, did that for five Summers in a row.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I’m personally really proud of our original cartoons “Shawks” (The Web Series) and “Holiday Force”, they still make me laugh.

How did you become interested in animation?
I did my Junior year in college as an exchange student at Sheffield Hallam University in England, where I was studying painting. A friend of mine told me that there was a 16mm Bolex camera and Rostrum set up in the Photography building that no one was using. I immediately set out to Continue reading

Promote your Stuff on Animation Insider.com for $10!

  By ,

When I first conceived of Animation Insider I pictured it as a site for animators by animators.  Being a professional animator or artist is hard. It takes a lot of networking skills and dedication. It also takes promotion. Many of the people I know do their own thing on the side, be it comics, short films, jewelry, paintings, tutorials and teaching, writing, to name a few.  A few I know even bake!

That said, we’re starting a new feature on Animation Insider.com whereby you can promote your events, films reel, or art here and be seen thousands of artists, development executives and animators daily. You can even sell your DVDs etc. here as well. Pretty cool you say?

Damn straight!

So how does this awesomeness work?

 All you’ve got to do is send $10 to mike@animationinsider.com on Paypal and send your flyer, art, reel, and a description of whatever you want to say to the same address and as long as it meets our guidelines we’ll post it on your behalf!
(If it doesn’t we’ll refund your money or give you a chance to revise it.)
Pretty easy huh?
Yep!
