ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Animation is a multibillion-dollar business, bigger than ever before. Even with this growth, animation has managed to hold onto its essential wonderment, the ability to transport viewers of all ages like no other popular-art form. But these unique rewards demand unique requirements, rules and responsibilities of the writer, and present unique pitfalls.

Roger S. H. Schulman has written for virtually every type of animation, from big budget international movies to DVD sequels to TV cartoons. During this live webinar he’ll reveal the bones of good animation writing.
