PINK SLIP Animation: Kaboing TV begins Tomorrow!

PINK SLIP ANIMATION – Who/What/Where are we?

On June 11, 2009, while unemployed for a time, I shouted out, “Anyone who wants to band together our resources and make our own projects, contact me…”

Craig Clark contacted me right away. As did Sue Bielenberg, Mike Milo, Jon Kinyon, Larry Levine, Tim Saguinsin, and many, many others. From as far away as Tasmania, to Canada, Spain, and NY.

The interest and enthusiasm was contagious. I jokingly called us pink slip animation one day, and the name stuck. With a horrible economy and many animators layed off due to outsourcing (and pour economies worldwide), we were all looking for a way to work while creating new ways to make a living.

The group formed quickly with many seasoned veterans from animation…. People I have looked up to for years.

This was becoming something more than just a club with connections. As word of mouth spread, industry professionals from editing, voice over, writing, producing, directing, cartooning, flash animation and CG animation, were contacting me. We had become a worldwide organization.

If we had funding, we could have staffed a TV show or feature!

Immediately, people in the group formed small crews of their own to help each other on their own personal projects. We listened to a few pitches and voted on two projects to produce within our own group. We shared connections with each other and helped critique each other’s work.

The friendships and associates I have met over the last 2 years are mind boggling. I think this group has something special and provides a place for employed and under employed artists to bond, work together on personal projects, help each other with pitches, and create a huge connection base. Being unemployed is such a depressing time and PINK SLIP has provided a place to get out of that rut and be creative by being of service to a fellow artist. Networking and working with fellow animators has helped many feel positive about the future.

Work has picked up slightly, but there are still many who have not worked in as many as 3 years. We need to provide work and create projects so we can support our own growth in this down economy.

It is up to us to make this happen.

Thank you to ALL of you who have been so supportive of our group.
