FREE - Beginning Animation Workshop Series

A great opportunity for aspiring animators -- here's the info from the NM Film Office:

Dear Filmmakers,

 

If you or anyone you know if interested in learning beginning animation, please see the below announcement for a FREE animation workshops series offered by one of our 2009 New Visions winners, Xuan Chen, in Albuquerque.  As many of you know, the New Visions award program is a funding opportunity for local filmmakers supported by the Governor and the state legislature: (http://nmfilm.com/locals/nm-filmmakers/new-visions-contract-awards.php).  Xuan was one of eleven winners this year – and one of only two winners who received an award for an experimental project.  In return for these awards, winners provide a wide range of community service to the state in their field of expertise – all free and open to the public.  See details below to find out more (no experience required), and contact Xuan to RSVP:
