Animation

Catch Me CatAnimation comes to us in the common form of a major motion picture. Most Albertan's grow up with popular Disney films and Saturday morning cartoons, most of which are not locally produced. There is, however, a smaller-scale animation community in the province that regularly produces innovative pieces.

More and more, the realm of animation is being transferred from the hand of the visual artist into the hard drive of a computer programmer. New media art encompasses many forms of animation, but the original art still has a place in Alberta.

Local animators have been submitting work to film festivals alongside live action filmmakers since their inception. Calgary's Quickdraw Animation Society brings these artists together in an effort to combine their talents and resources. They offer courses and sponsor events throughout the year.

Animators such as Colin Low, who is profiled on this website, are leading the way in a small, but successful Alberta industry. Educational institutions such as the Banff Centre now offer a diverse set of courses for the aspiring animator.
