The Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839, will host a Zoom webinar Wednesday night to offer tips to recent college graduates on breaking into the animation industry during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Guild officials say the animation business has been “thriving” during the pandemic, while most other sectors of the industry have been completely shut down. “Over the last two weeks, animation studios and productions, including Bento Box, Disney TV, Cartoon Network and Rick & Morty have posted hiring notices,” the guild told Deadline.
“The coronavirus has affected recent graduates tremendously, not only robbing them of the traditions that mark the completion of a degree but making the transition into the workforce more challenging,” the guild said. “Many of the resources available to them in the past – portfolio reviews, student galleries, recruiting events – have been cancelled. This webinar will provide much-needed insights as graduates prepare to start their careers in the field of animation.

The Animation Guild, Iatse Local 839, has new leadership, including 10 new members of its executive board. Steve Kaplan, running unopposed, recently was elected business rep, and Jeanette Moreno King, the local’s former veep, was elected president. Jason MacLeod, the local’s former business rep, did not seek reelection.
A total of 912 ballots were cast, representing 24% of the guild’s eligible membership. Founded in 1952, the Animation Guild represents more than 5,000 artists, writers and technicians in the animation industry.
Kaplan, the new business rep, served as guild’s in-house organizer from 2010-15 until accepting a position with Iatse, where he was charged with organizing visual effects and non-traditional motion picture and television production work, including animation. During that time, he continued to serve on the guild’s Executive Board and as a trustee before returning to guild as a field representative in early 2019.
President Moreno King is a 25-year veteran of the animation industry.

The Art of Regular Show was released earlier this month by Titan Books and we got our hands on a copy. The large format (11.4” x 8.9”) 160 page collection of animation stills, sketches, storyboards, and commentaries chronicles the shows creation and its eccentric cast. We see how a rough set of proto-characters evolved into the Pops, Mordecai and Benson that we’ve come to know in the series.
If you’re not familiar with the series, Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network that premiered in 2010. The series revolves around the lives of two friends, a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby—both employed as groundskeepers at a local park. Their regular attempts to slack off usually lead to surreal, extreme, and often supernatural misadventures.
The book covers ground with each cast member including Quintel, Paula Spence, Sean Szeles, Calvin Wong,...
