What we're doing, what we're not...

Now that we've been up for almost two months, we have a pretty good idea of what we're trying to do here... We're striving to foster discussion and communication. We're working to have fun with the foibles of the industry, do some water cooler stuff. We're doing history at various studios, profiles of animation veterans, old pictures, old cartoons. We're posting about the shape and direction of the animation industry from a business and labor perspective, as well as what's happening in a general way at different studios. What we're NOT doing: Detailing the ups and downs of every project at every studio. We'll put stuff we see going on in a context and occasionally comment on it, but jabbering about what character has been eliminated from what feature-length cartoon this week bores us. Talking about proprietary information (we'll leave that to "Ain't It Cool News" and its various cousins). trafficking in falsehoods. (If we write something that's incorrect, we'll correct it.) This is an evolving effort, and we'll rely on your feedback, both positive and negative, to keep this useful and interesting. Your hosts, Steve and Kevin
