What an amazing 2 days of Animation awesomeness!
Thank you students, Disney, Manitoba Film & Music, Tangent Animation Studios and most of all Trent Correy. You keep on inspiring the future generation of animators.
The MAniJam (Manitoba Animation Jam Out Session) is a creative experience brought to you by Sisler IDM, Disney Animator Trent Correy, Tangent Animation Studios and Manitoba Film & Music. Over 120 student film-makers, animators & artists learned about the real industry and how to get there. In addition to the wonderful talks & workshops, students were challenged to create an animation starting and ending in a circle on a stage using any medium, such as: paper & pencil, Adobe Flash, Adobe After Effects and/or Adobe Photoshop in just 3 hours. We had a blast!
