Is Animation your passion? We would like to see your talents.
“UnderEXPOSED” TV series will be making our debut in the Fall of 2013 on APTN. Our show
is based on two young Aboriginal extreme sports photojournalists, who will be following high
level athletes, as well as rediscovering the local First Nations roots connected to the area, to make
a stronger story and help preserve the local bands culture and languages.
We are looking for an animator who can help us embody our vision, as well as bring their own
unique style to our series. How can you help us turn our Native based Legends into visuals,
seamlessly shifting from video to animation? You will be working closely with our post
production crew, and with aboriginal legends and stories that we incorporate into every episode.

The Ottawa Animation Festival was great fun, and Jennie Vallis (Digital Coordinator), and Karilynn Thompson (Programming and GIRAF Festival Director) were honoured to attend to present C’est La Vie: The Chris J. Melnychuk Story. C’est La Vie played to an enthusiastic audience, and has received many a kind word from animators around the world. Thanks to the animation team that made this film possible!
OIAF was fantastic, from Shorts Screenings, a sneak peak of Hotel Transilvania, character design workshops with Phil Rynda (AdventureTime). We met up with many friends, old and new! Thanks for a great fest – we’ll be back next year!
