Monitor, April 2010, is of interest to animators. Check this out.

Excerpts from E-Vent, FTI's monthly e-wag.


Monitor, FTI's Members mag is available to download
Here's a taste of it this month.

It's got a staff profile on our animation lecturer Tanya (T.J.) Beeson!


It also feature's Raging Pixel's Gareth Lockett. Raging Pixel have just produced the 10 minute animation The Cold Hearted Giant.
Some pertinent points were offered to new animators:

"

• Just being an "animator" isn't enough.Which part do you want to work in?
•  Be organised if you’re looking for animation work – have a good CV, a showreel ready to show and be prepared to talk to people. It’s a visual medium – you need to show your stuff to people.
• A large percentage of jobs aren’t advertised publicly – so networking is a must.
• Turn up at Industry events.
• Learn about basic budgeting.

"
There's loads more to read in the mag.
