Oregon Animation: Call for Submissions

UPDATE: Deadline extended to 5 PM on Monday, May 23th 2011!

Following the successful effort to create a voice for the Oregon Film and Television community in this blog, we recently convened a group of Oregon animation and visual effects professionals that we know, and asked them how a site dedicated to their segment of the industry might be received. After lots of lively conversation and great ideas, it became clear that there was great interest, and that it would be very helpful for drawing attention to the fact that Oregon has more than just great locations, amazing acting and crew talent, and not to mention, a terrific film incentive program.

Considering the important role that animators and visual effects professionals have in telling stories on screens big and small, we are seeking professionals in the community to join our effort to showcase Oregon’s community of animation and visual effects talent. We’re convening a site which will be community-driven, that will highlight the work of Oregonian professionals, and be curated by folks who are members themselves of the community, Oh, and we forgot to mention that curators will be selected by the community as well.
