 This is NIMBLE COLLECTIVE's fabulous logo. Love it! January is already shaping up to be an extraordinary month with new technical developments in animation production, a host of great movies set for 2016 release and groundbreaking initiatives coming out of WOMEN IN ANIMATION that will pull more women into the industry than ever before. Let's start with TECH! I had the fabulous opportunity to spend quite a long time with the folks over at NIMBLE COLLECTIVE in Mountain View, CA late last week, getting a close up look at their technology platform vision and their awesome plans for supporting the creation of new stories. For those who don't know about the work of NIMBLE, here's a link to their site. Stay on top of what's coming out of this studio because they are openly using the phrase, "DISRUPT"! Aiming to lower the technology bar for new and upcoming animation teams, this firm plans to remove barriers to collaboration and technology through new ways to use the cloud and pipeline methods. Keep your eye on this firm which is pre-IPO with $ 1.0m in seed funding in 2015. http://www.nimblecollective.com/ Palo Alto, CA and Orlando, FL (May 12, 2015)--Nimble Collective, a wildly creative startup led by Academy Award- winning animators and technology entrepreneurs, today announced its formation to focus on revolutionizing the $90 billion worldwide animation content market. With an initial $1 million in seed funding, Nimble Collective is developing the industry’s first cloud-based, end-to-end platform and world’s largest online animation community to serve an estimated 10 million professional and aspiring animators around the globe.  Next up my favorite - WOMEN IN ANIMATION! Last night I attended the student committee chapter meeting for the LA chapter of Women in Animation. Great plans are afoot and you can check out this year's action line up at: http://www.womeninanimation.org/ WIA recently announced an industry initiative to achieve 50% gender parity in the animation industry. I can't think of a better way to spend my time than educating girls about animation, and working to achieve this goal. On that, I've been selected as the student chapter global lead and will be opening student chapters for Women in Animation in cities around the world. If you are not a member, dues are not expensive and the rewards and networking opportunities are way high. Stay tuned for more excitement and Happy 2016! Comments are closed.
