Nickelodeon has premiered a brand new Nick Animation Careers website and it’s pretty cool. Straightforward and easy to navigate, this will be I imagine the spot to check what’s going on there as far as new gigs. It’s a lot easier than the old way in my opinion. It also highlights internships and how to go about applying for that, as well as a new Talent Development section where they outline the Artist program and Writing programs which many great industry people have emerged from. All in all I think it’s a great step forward for seeing what Nick has to offer to help you shape your career in animation!

If you don’t know what an Animation Director is, you probably shouldn’t apply but in the interest of education it’s typically someone who handles exposure sheets in addtion to retakes and revisions. Here’s a little bit more about Exposure Sheets.

From Wired: Pixar animator Everett Downing has created 365 superheroes, one for each day. Everett also lent his genius to films such as Ratatouille, WALL-E, and Up, so you know there’s going to be some more interesting designs there. Quite a few of them look like villains to me but they’re all inspiring nonetheless. Check out the link below for more details.
