Karen Raugust has an article at Animation World Network (AWN) on the challenges facing the Chinese animation industry entitled, appropriately enough, “Challenges Ahead For China”. The article features some observations from moi, and makes mention of “Road To Home”, the Chinese animated feature that I am consulting on in Beijing.
Just returned from the fmx08 conference in Stuttgart, where my presentation “CG Production Principles & Practices: Keeping Your Money On the Screen And Off The Floor” was well-received. Afterwards, one producer in the audience was inspired to say: “This presentation should be required viewing for every industry executive, producer and supervisor.”
I could not agree more. 
Full report coming soon to the AO press page, but for now I’m off to an onsite consultation in Jerusalem. - KG
