Galway Film Centre: Developing a Short Animation and Getting it Funded
Go »
This day-long course will cover how to turn a short film idea into a fully
financed film commission. The day will be spent taking a generated idea
through the three rewrites: on the page, the storyboard, the edit. It will
focus on animation, but the skills can be applied to live-action. The course
is aimed at those who have some knowledge of film/animation/direction and
would like to know more about developing a short film.
