We at the WGF may have hit a pause on our live events, but thanks to technology, we’re aiming to provide more access to advice and knowledge from film and TV writers while we’re all social distancing. Over the last few months, we’ve been hosting free Zoom panels about craft and all things relevant to writers.

For this session, join Business of Creating for a virtual interactive panel and Q&A with seasoned entertainment executives to learn the ins and outs of Animation for the Big and Small Screens. 

Topics will include: Writing for animation vs. live action. Converting a live action idea into an animated one. How producing an animated show is different than a live action show. Producing animated films vs. TV shows. During this time of quarantine, is it easier to get an animated film/show produced vs. shooting live action with real people? What action steps you, the creator, can take now to make your project rise to the top.

Panelists:

• Karen Malach - Producer, Sony Pictures Animation Hair Love series

• Aghi Koh - Vice President, Development, DreamWorks TV Animation

• Alison Mann - Vice President, Creative/Strategy, Sony Pictures Animation
