RESEARCH!
I've been a bit sick and fallen behind on pretty much everything, but now I think that I've at least found out what the hell I want to research in my Studiopractice and Business course.

I think I really want to research what oppertunities there are for animators in Norway, and alternativly, Canada. I don't really know too well the companies and groups that do/need animation in Norway. The major game developer is of course FunCom, but they're not the only ones methinks. There are of course quite a few companies that do mostly comercials and other stuff, like Toxic etc. But I don't have a good overview of these companies, who they are, what they do and what they need.

Alternativly, there's Canada. I don't really know why. My family have had some connections to that country, for various reasons. But I have noticed that several animation companies and even designers I come across are in Canada (Corus Entertainment Inc, the makers of Ruby Gloom. Nitrogen Studios, who did the cinematics for God of War). It's also not to far away from the US, where we've got Disney and Pixar :). I just don't think I want to be living there. I find a nation so obsessed with guns and war a bit unnerving. Still, it's close enough to take a flight to ComiCon etc., stuff I always have wanted to visit.

I don't really see myself staying in England. The people are nice, but dunno...

I think I'll forgo the research towards directing and stuff. I'll probably do more of that in private, for my own little shorts and stuff. It's more of a hobby methinks.


..gotta run to CCA.
