La Poudrière: Animation Filmmaking: Commissioned Films and Book Adaptation
Deadline
26 February 2010
26 April - 9 July 9 2010, Valence, France
La Poudrière, an animation school in Valence, France, is running a course in animation scriptwriting and the adaptation of children's books. The training lasts for 11 weeks and includes a week at the International Animated Film Festival and Market in Annecy, France.
Participants will work in small groups on an adaptation project that is divided into two tasks: development of a concept for a TV series, and screenplay writing for a TV special, both of which are similar from the point of view of writing, directing and methodology.
At the end of these two exercises, students will pitch their projects to a jury of animation industry professionals (authors and publishers of children's books, scriptwriters, filmmakers and producers) who will assess the merits and feasibility of each project.
Sessions and Dates
11-week module from 26 April to 9 July 2010.
Participants
10-12 participants who will be European graduate students or working professionals with technical experience of animation. Strong graphic skills and knowledge of basic 2D animation techniques required.
