Subject: (cbiz) Anime Project
Date: 05 May 2001 12:37:10 -0400




The Rutgers Anime club is working on producing its own Original Animated
series, Japanimation style.  The plan is for a series of 6 animated
shows, less than 20 minutes each.  The animation will be done in Flash
and Director.

We need artist to contribute background art (watercolors prefered) and
character animations.  The animation we're looking for isn't very
complex; we'll be working at a average frame rate of less than 8 per
second.

We're looking for volunteers looking to beef up their portfolio but the
club is willing to raise funds to pay artists if need be.

If you'd like to submitt or would like more info, send a SASE to my
personal box:

Mike Hayes
PO BOX 172
Lake Hiawatha NJ 07034

Thanks
Haze

Subject: (cbiz) CFP: Panel on Globalization and Comics
Date: 09 May 2001 09:37:27 -0300


Call for Papers- Panel on Globalization and Comics

The Fifth Congress of the Americas
University of the Americas-Puebla, Mexico
- October 18, 19, 20 2001 -  ( http://www.udlap.mx/congress/ )

The deadline for submitting papers and panels is June 1, 2001.

What has been the impact of globalization on comics in the Americas?
How has the importation of comics from the likes of DC, Marvel, Dark Horse,=
 and
Image changed the local comics community?

Papers for this panel analyze globalization in terms of the cultural impact=
 on
locally produced comics.  Many South American countries and other countries=
 in
the Americas witnessed a marked decline in locally produced comics during=
 the
1980s and 90s, during the same time period massive imports of US and=
 Japanese
comics took place.  Many local publishers produced Spanish translations of
these comics and ceased carrying comics by the local talent.  Once popular
vehicles for local comics (e.g., Fierro) ceased publication.

What can be done to revitalize the local comics community?
Publishers, Cartoonists, Librarians who direct Latin American comics
collections, Directors and/or professors of Graphic Arts Schools, etc. are
especially invited to share their views.

For paper submissions, send a 250 word abstract.
Include requests for any audio-visual equipment needed or desired.

Send abstracts and proposals to: Jeff Williams,
