November 8th, 2008, 01:07 PM #16It's the thousands of employees being laid off and the jobs being shipped over seas. It's the impact it has on the economy of Michigan and the US, but you go ahead and keep thinking it's all about the latest trim package.
In the 50s and 60s the optimistic views about science were part of that HOPE.
Good SCIENCE Fiction should have something to do with science and technology. I built this when I was in grade school but not because any teacher suggested it.
Back then it didn't have a hand crank. There was an electric motor in the starter housing. I understood that planned obsolescence was going on in cars before I was out of high school. I have never owned a new car and have not been to an auto show in more than 30 years. If General Motors started manufacturing what I regarded as a excellent car tomorrow I would not go to a show to see it. My only question would be, "What is it about this thing that you could not have made 20 years ago?"
"And don't talk about the 30 gig hard drive for audio and video storage. That is not why I buy a car." ROFL
Physics and technology are related and economists are technological morons.
I like the Star Trek: DS9 episode The House of Quark because it shows the usefulness of accounting. Aren't the computers we have today powerful enough to handle it? I have never seen any futuristic society portrayed in any science fiction book where everyone was expected to know accounting the way everyone is expected to know how to ride a bicycle today. What kind of culture would that be? I don't hear economists saying accounting should be mandatory in the schools.
The Space Merchants is a good prophetic SF book but I would not call it hopeful.
Here are some of my thoughts on techno-economics from 10 years ago.
What HOPE is there if consumerism is crashing and everyone thinks the solution to the problem is more consumerism. There have been 200,000,000+ cars in the US since 1995. At $1,500 per car per year that is $300,000,000,000 lost in depreciation every year. FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS lost since 1995. But the so called econometrics used by our professional economists doesn't even try to measure that accurately. And that is just what I regard as a conservative guesstimate.
I NEVER talk about conspiracy theories. I don't give a DAMN.
But it is pretty funny for the nation that put men on the moon to not be able to solve a physics problem about a skyscraper in SEVEN YEARS. Where is the HOPE in that?
Science fiction fans that don't know the SCIENCE to solve the Newtonian physics. UH HUH!

And you're acting like it's universal. For the 57 million people who didn't vote for Hopie this doesn't apply. It's nice the Kool Aid crowd has such a warm fuzzy. Go personality cults! But unless all scifi authors and readers are liberals it's not a universal attitude.

But if there are changes that back up the rhetoric, then that may chance the genre, regardless of who they voted for: or in my case being a few thousand miles away, didn't vote for. If the developments are negative, then that may affect the genre too. Or not.

I'm not sure what to make of Hope. If Obama's presidency is one of inclusion, and not the worthless "diversity" kind where people who look differently but think alike on almost all issues are mish-mashed together, but rather of true diversity of thought, I have hope. If not, then it's just like the Who says, "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."
It will be intereesting to see what comes from the UK. All the creeping Big Brotherism and thought control of the past decade under Labour's unbroken rule has been terrifying to watch. Such pathologies have already infected Canada with it's misnamed Human Rights Tribunals. Will they jump the border. Maybe. In which case, I don't think we'll be seeing hopeful sci-fi, unless you count the ones where some lucky souls manage to escape Earth's totalitarian govt.

There have been a few articles on www.io9.com in the last few weeks about sci-fi in the Clintonian era and whatnot. Science fiction tends to get political. There was an Arthur C. Clarke novel, can't remember the name, that involved American democracy replaced by a theocracy. Can anyone imagine 1984 being written before the Soviet Union being formed?
In the 1950s, we had a bunch of sci-fi on tv about going into space. There was space travel fiction before the 50s, but the 50s and 60s were a boom-time. This was obviously inspired by the Space Race. Waterworld, was made in the 1990s when Global Warming was first becoming a huge issue. Cyberpunk had a hayday in the 90s due to the internet-yeah that's a technological advance, but Al Gore did invent it after all.
More recently, we've seen sci-fi about futures that deal with resource depletion or humans just becoming too dirty to live on one planet. The "almost sequel" to the computer game Civilization, called Alpha Centauri, is about human colonists leaving a doomed earth to settle in the nearest solar system. Wall-E is set in a future where humans have dirtied the earth to the point of being unlivable, and City of Ember is the same except humans go underground instead of out in space.
The whole "Hope" thing is what we're feeling now and may influence sci-fi in the next year, but situations will arise that affect how writers view the world and what direction it is going. After all, when Bush was elected, we were expecting the last 8 years only with a Republican, then two planes crashed into a couple of skyscrapers.
I'd say most likely, we're going to get very diplomatic sci-fi like Speaker for the Dead where we run into misunderstandings with aliens but learn to understand them once we open dialogue instead of the evil Communoids have teamed up with the Islamobites to invade the earth and enslave us and only a virus programmed on my Mac iBook can save us.

A Kat mentions, the new Solaris anthology really seems to be expression of this hope that I speak of (and no, even in the original post I did not imply it's universal). We'll see if it gains any traction.

I think 9/11 will, in the long run, have more of an affect on Science Fiction than Obama's election as president. There are enough flavors, writers, and approaches to science fiction that ultimately, Obama's win will have as much affect as anything as historic. Will the futures that writers prognosticate be much different than if McCain won? Maybe, but the same can be said after any election.
There may be more new Utopic fiction rather than Dystopic fiction on the shelves.

I dont read a lot of short fiction, but it makes sense that current moods would manifest themselves more readily in short fiction. I dont expect much of an effect in novels, because I dont expect the mood to last long enough. Ive been around long enough to know things can get considerably worse than they are now. Its just my opinion, but I think an Obama/Pelosi/Reid government will make things worse, not better. My view is clearly a minority one at this point, and I hope Im wrong. Time will tell, probably 2 to 3 years.

I think we also need to consider the need for hope in our fiction when there isn't much in reality versus hope (as tied to a particular candidate causing it). Thanksfully I didn't live through WWII but when talking to those who did, it was a much bleaker time than right now. The current atmosphere is mixed IMO. I think a lot of people believe that it is a cycle that will work itself out.
WWII on the other hand endangered not only short / medium term affluence but your entire way of life and potentially even your life on a widespread basis. I certainly cannot judge the impact of such bleak times on Sci Fi in the 40's and 50's as a whole.
Can anyone describe the tone of Sci Fi then? Was it happy endings? Good always triumphs over evil? 1984 which was finished in the late 40s was certainly influenced by censorship that happened during the war and afterwards.
November 10th, 2008, 06:03 PM #25
Bear in mind that many dystopian and pessimistic stories are not without hope, even when the evil tyrants are not overturned at the end. And that a story with a tragic end isn't always created out of a lack of hope. Sometimes it's just fun to have a story where the zombies eat everyone.

Well I haven't watched too much sci-fi from the 50s, but I know Flash Gordon was popular. You might say Ming the Merciless was an allegory for communism, having a Chinese name being a cruel dictator. However, the original comic was made prior to the formation of the People's Republic of China. It's popularity in the 50s may have been a happy coincidence though. The evil dictator is Chinese, we have Chinese dictators now. Not the intent of the author but definitely how the audience saw it. That was more of a traditional good vs. evil story with the bad guy always foiled by the hero.
I think the biggest influence on sci-fi during that era was the atomic bomb. Besides the giant lizards or bugs mutated by radiation destroying cities, there was the "man playing god" thing going on. The bomb proved that man playing around technology can have disastrous effects. Just because we can do something doesn't mean you can do it. I remember watching "Return of the Fly," sequel to "The Fly." Vincent Price says, and I'm paraphrasing, "There are some things men are not meant to know," in response to a scientist trying to perfect the teleportation device. A fly flies into the machine at the moment of testing and the scientist turns into a fly-man.
This theme runs throughout the 30s all the way to the 60s. Scientific discoveries were being made on a daily basis and the world was changing so fast that it led to a certain fear for the future.

Oh one other thing to get back to the whole "Hope" message of this article.
I voted for Obama and think he'll do good for the country. The thing is, "Hope" and "Change" are simply mantras that supporters of the Obama campaign repeat.
In 2004, the Kerry campaign was way to intellectual and didn't appeal on a personal level. Studies showed that people voted with their heart more than their brain and Kerry was brainy candidate. Obama recognized this and became the heart and soul of the Democratic Party. He gives really great speeches that carry the tone of sermons without the religiosity and inspire people.
With that said, despite my support for the guy, I recognize "Hope" and "Change" as a marketing campaign. Also, hope runs both ways. I'm sure there were some conservative writers that thought a Bush win meant brighter days for tomorrow. Even James Dobson, who's "Focus on the Family" is normally uplifting, wrote a bit of sci-fi with "Letters from 2012," where home-schooling is outlawed unless the parents have a teacher's license and we have to settle for teaching our kids about Jesus 18/7 instead of 24/7.
So expect both liberal dystopias and utopias to be on the rise.

Yes, but again, for every fear for the future, science will destroy us story, there's a one where science is neat story, or a mixed one -- science will destroy us but also save us. In the 1950's and 1960's, you had plenty of atom bomb inspired dystopias and monster movies, but you also had the gung-ho we're going to the moon Campbellian attitude, the promise of jet packs, flying cars, and robot servants in the coming future. So then you had stories where the robot servants ran amok, and Hollywood really liked those sorts of things, but you also had The Fantastic Voyage, etc.
So, you have the plague, but then you have the cure. You have the zombies of 28 Days Later, but then they survive and the Americans come to rescue them. (Even in the less happy proposed endings for that film, somebody got rescued at the end.) And then you have the sequel, where the bad things start all over again because the government is bad, but then.... I Am Legend -- the book -- is it hopeful or not in the ending? Kind of a mix.
Whatever scenario that you can imagine, some SF writer will try it.
November 11th, 2008, 12:24 PM #30
I am in the process of listening to the audiobook:
Greener Than You Think (1947) by Ward Moore
Now that I think of it Greener than You Think is an example of what happens in reality. A person with some real brains makes a development then some nitwit does something stupid with it that he wasn't told to do, then more nitwits aggravate the problem.
Consider the technology of the automobile. 2008 is the 100th anniversary year of the Ford Model-T. But Ford refused to change the Model-T and that eventually caused problems for the company. But the technology was actually advancing significantly back then. Now car companies have been changing cars for decades even when the technology was not changing significantly. So now we have waste and pollution and economic problems. Don't blame science and technology for people being STUPID. Technology and the implementation of technology are two different things.
So far GTYT is cracking me up. The prose alone is pretty hilarious. Though I find the the blatant sexism very funny to. Was he doing it deliberately to satarize sexism? LOL Sci-fi from a different time is a kind of time machine.
I did a search on "pop sci-fi" just to see what turned up. Pop sci-fi and serious sci-fi will have different reactions. Pop sci-fi is probably the bigger market.

Components Help Screens
The Search Manager: Search Term Analysis back-end screen allows you to view statistics about searches performed by visitors of your site.
Note: By default, statistics functionality is disabled after installing Joomla! -- refer to Options for information on enabling statistics.
Select Components → Search from the drop-down menu of the Joomla! Administrator Panel.
The Search Statistics screen allows you to see how many searches were done for each keyword combination and how many results were returned for each search.
You can click the 'Search Phrase' or 'Hits' column headers to sort the list by these values. Click again to sort in the reverse order.
In the upper right corner there are more fields, as shown below:
Below the list you'll find: Chunk25:Help screen list Display Count
At the top right you will see the toolbar:
The functions are:
In the toolbar, click on the Options button to open the Search Manager Options window.
Chunk25:Buttons Chunk25:Buttons
In this window, the "Component" tab allows you to set various parameters for Search Statistics, as shown below:
This screen allows you to set the component permissions in Joomla. This is important to consider if you have sites with many different user categories all of whom need to have different accessibilities to the component. The screenshot below describes what you should see and the text below that describes what each permission level gives the user access to:
You work on one Group at a time by opening the slider for that group. You change the permissions in the Select New Settings drop-down list boxes. The options for each value are Inherited, Allowed, or Denied. The Calculated Setting column shows you the setting in effect. It is either Not Allowed (the default), Allowed, or Denied. Note that the Calculated Setting column is not updated until you press the Save button in the toolbar. To check that the settings are what you want, press the Save button and check the Calculated Settings column.
The default values used here are the ones set in the Global Configuration Permissions Tab
Chunk25:Help screen component options permissions columns manage
There are two very important points to understand from this screen. The first is to see how the permissions can be inherited from the parent Group. The second is to see how you can control the default permissions by Group and by Action. This provides a lot of flexibility. For example, if you wanted Shop Suppliers to be able to have the ability to create an article about their product, you could just change their Create value to "Allowed". If you wanted to not allow members of Administrator group to delete objects or change their state, you would change their permissions in these columns to Inherited (or Denied). It is also important to understand that the ability to have child groups is completely optional. It allows you to save some time when setting up new groups. However, if you like, you can set up all groups to have Public as the parent and not inherit any permissions from a parent group.

Death & Mourning 101
About Death and Mourning
Judaism does not shy away from close encounters with death, but frames them ritually. Much attention is paid to treating the dead (and even a dead body) with respect (k'vod ha-met) and to comforting mourners (nichum aveilim).
History and Development
Many practices surrounding death that continue to this day--such as tearing one's clothes, burial, and mourning the deceased--find their origins in the biblical text. There is both a remarkable consistency and fascinating differences in Jewish burial and mourning practices around the world.
Long before death, one may write an "ethical" will, recording values and guidance for one's descendants. Individuals who may be dying are encouraged to recite the traditional deathbed viddui,or confession of sins.
Before the Funeral
Until the burial, a person who hears of the death of a first-degree relative (a parent, spouse, sibling, or child) is an onen (literally "someone in between"). Traditionally, the enigmatic yet powerful phrase "baruch dayan ha-emet" ("blessed is the judge of Truth") is uttered upon hearing the news, and a garment is torn. The body is prepared for burial with great care by the hevra kaddisha (the sacred burial society), including ritual purification (tahora), and dressing the body in shrouds (tachrichim).

Seth Rogen and James Franco's Shot-for-Shot Recreation of Kanye West's "Bound 2″ Video
The world collectively chuckled last week as Kanye West revealed his ludicrous "Bound 2" music video, which co-starred his fiancee Kim Kardashian, who rode topless on a motorcycle. Get ready to laugh even harder as Seth Rogen and James Franco made a shot-for-shot remake of the "Bound 2" video on the set of their new movie, which gives new meaning to the lyric, "I wanna f--- you hard on the sink."
First 'Anchorman 2′ Clip: Is That What Ron Burgundy Really Sounds Like?
For as much as we love 'Anchorman' and Ron Burgundy, we're very happy to be at the point where we can watch actual footage from the film instead of countless promotional spots for the various 'Anchorman 2' sponsors. Yes, the first 'Anchorman 2' clip is here and it'll get you laughing along with Ron Burgundy. Wait, did we see with Ron Burgundy? We meant you'll be laughing at Ron Burgundy.
Director James Mangold Confirms 'Wolverine 3′ Will Follow an Existing Comic Storyline
When word arrived that director James Mangold and star Hugh Jackman were in talks to return for a 'Wolverine 3' (we'll call it that for the time being, even though we hate that it reminds us of the existence of 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'), we openly wondered what existing storyline they would use for the film, or if they would tell a completely original tale. Mangold himself put to rest the notions that they would create their own 'Wolverine' story saying they "absolutely" will be adapting a popular comic storyline.
Sony Pictures Confirms 'Amazing Spider-Man' Spinoffs Focusing on "New Heroes and Villains"
Let's see if this news gets your Spidey-sense tingling.

Sony Pictures Entertainment Co-Chairman Amy Pascal spoke today and revealed they have plans to create a number of new films based on "new heroes and villains" from the Spider-Man universe.
'Sabotage' Trailer: Arnold Schwarzenegger is Gonna Destroy You
Just yesterday, we brought you a first look at Arnold Schwarzenegger's new action-thriller 'Sabotage' and were saying that the film was preaching realism above all else. Today, the 'Sabotage' trailer is here, and does it delivers on that promise? Yeahhh, not so much.
Will 'Batman vs. Superman' Not Actually Be Called 'Batman vs. Superman'?
While Warner Bros. never confirmed it, most everyone has assumed the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie will be called 'Batman vs. Superman' because, well, duh. But, now comes a report that Warner Bros. has purchased a few related domain names, which indicates the studio is ditching the 'Batman vs. Superman' title for something more 'Man of Steel' friendly.
'Star Wars' Characters to Appear in 'The Lego Movie'!
Can't wait for 'Star Wars: Episode 7' to hit the big screen in December, 2015? Turns out you won't have to.

'Muppets Most Wanted' Trailer: What is Kermit Doing in Jail?

Today, you can get your first look at the trailer for the all new Muppet adventure.
'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Is the Second Most Expensive Movie in 20th Century Fox History
'X-Men: Days of Future Past' recently returned to Montreal for a few weeks of reshoots. This, in and of itself, is not really news as virtually every big-budget Hollywood movie actually sets aside time for reshoots in their original schedule. But, as Fox announced the reshoots, a more interesting note came along with it: 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' is now the second most expensive movie in the 78 years of 20th Century Fox, behind only James Cameron's 'Avatar.'
Listen All Y'All, It's a First Look at Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'Sabotage'
Arnold Schwarzenegger has yet to star in a breakout hit since stepping down as governor of California. 'The Last Stand' and 'Escape Plan' were mostly disappointments, but Arnold has his best chance of success coming up with the action-thriller 'Sabotage' (formerly known as 'The Ten'). In fact, Arnold compares this movie to one of his best ever - 'Predator.' Get a first look at 'Sabotage' with a set of new photos below.
'Anchorman 2′ Now Has Its Own Line of Ron Burgundy-Inspired Underwear
We've seen some odd product placement/endorsement deals in our time, but this one just might take the cake. With a slogan that reads, "Give your little Anchorman the support he needs," 'Anchorman 2' and Jockey have teamed up for a series of Ron Burgundy-inspired tighty-whiteys. Except they're not white and come in colors like "Sex Panther Red" and "Beard of Zeus Blue."
What Is the Best Movie Trailer of 2013?
'The Wolf of Wall Street' doesn't hit theaters until Christmas, but the upcoming Martin Scorsese movie is already winning awards. The film's much-hyped teaser trailer won the Grand Prize at the Key Art Awards for Best Trailer of the Year. See what competition it beat out and let us know if you agree.

Juicy slow cooked turkey breast with rich turkey gravy, all in your crock pot. This was my first time making a turkey breast in the crock pot, but it won't be my last!
What an easy way to prepare turkey breast that doesn't require too much attention. The vegetables are first browned with a roux on the stove to ensure the gravy has a rich flavor base, then it's all slow cooked in the crock pot. At the end, I simmered the braising liquid on the stove until it reduced and thickened into a delicious, easy gravy.
I modified this recipe from the Slow Cooker Revolution cookbook. It's a great base, and I can see playing around with the ingredients in this recipe.
Madison, my toddler said yummy juicy meat (that meant she liked it) and my husband was thrilled there were mashed potatoes AND gravy on his plate. This was like a mini Thanksgiving feast, I made some skinny mashed potatoes on the side, (you could also make cauliflower mash if you want to go low carb) and I also served this with some sauteed broccolini which is not pictured.
Today, I guess I'll be making some turkey noodle soup with the leftovers!

Stir in remaining broth, water, wine, sage, and bay leaves into the slow cooker. Season turkey with salt and pepper, place skin side up in the slow cooker, cover and cook 5 to 7 hours on low, or until the turkey reaches 165 degrees with an instant-read thermometer.
Transfer turkey to a cutting board tent loosely with with foil and let it rest 20 minutes. Let braising liquid settle for 5 minutes, then remove the fat from the surface using a large spoon or a gravy fat separator. Strain braising liquid into saucepan, discard celery, bay leaves and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Discard the skin and carve the turkey and serve with gravy. Makes 2 1/2 cups of gravy.

Research Interests
The role of vitamin D in MS
BiographyDr. Mowry became interested in multiple sclerosis (MS) prior to beginning college and first performed research in multiple sclerosis as an undergraduate biology major at Georgetown University. As a neurology resident at the University of Pennsylvania, she began her multiple sclerosis clinical research activities in conducting a study of visual dysfunction and quality of life in multiple sclerosis. As a fellow at UCSF, Dr. Mowry evaluated prognostic factors in multiple sclerosis and examined health-related quality of life in multiple sclerosis, particularly as a marker of disease burden. Dr. Mowry continued as a member of the faculty. She explored the association of vitamin D status with the risk of relapses among children with MS and was subsequently awarded a grant from the NIH to study the role of vitamin D in the course of MS.
Dr. Mowry joined the Johns Hopkins Department of Neurology as an Assistant Professor in July, 2011. In addition to ongoing studies, she is launching a multicenter randomized controlled trial of vitamin D supplementation in MS.

POSTED: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 - 3:00am
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 - 3:04am
CNN — It's been rumored that "Dexter's" eighth season was going to be its last, and it seemed to be confirmed on Monday.
Moonves, whose CBS Corp. includes Showtime, was discussing the cable network's programming at the 2013 dbAccess Media & Telecom Conference.
A moderator asked what's coming up in terms of original programming, and Moonves said that a new Liev Schreiber project, "Ray Donovan," is on its way.
(Curious about that program? According to IMDb, Schreiber will star as a "fixer" for Los Angeles' rich and famous set. It seems he can erase everyone's problems but his own.)
"Ray Donovan," according to Moonves, "comes on with 'Dexter's' last season starting in June."
Moonves' statement echoes what Showtime president David Nevins told Entertainment Weekly back in 2011, which was that "everybody is operating under [the] assumption" that seasons 7 and 8 would be the end of "Dexter."
Whether it really will be the final season or not, fans of the serial killer drama can expect it to return to Showtime on June 30.

Please enjoy these insider tips from professional animators. We hope you'll join the conversation. Happy Animating!
Reading this report just reminded me of how lucky I am !!!
What should be emphasized though is that there is still a huge competition going on.
Within all the people I met during my final year of studying 3D animation, only a few (I'd say about 10%) are still working in the industry, most of them turned to other graphic jobs (such as webdesign) or went to a totaly different industry...
Anyway, this report really made my day, CHAMPAGNE for tonight ! ;)
This is an awesome report. I just noticed one thing though. In the 10 Top selling Games section it said GTA made $9.4 Million. It should be 9.4 copies sold and made over 500 Million! Just thought I would point that out ;)
Thanks for all the awesome articles! Keep them coming.
Wow, this was an incredible report! Thanks so much for putting it out! I'm currently in AM and this has put any hint of doubt I had about my new career path to rest. Animators are the second happiest profession to clergymen? That's so awesome!
Thank YOU so much for the report! :) AM is the best!
I really appreciate that report.
Since I'm still in high school, I obviously won't get a job in the industry soon, so of course I'm interested in the outlook and future of it.
On a side note, that report looked really awesome. Whoever did the graphics should get a raise or something.
What i know is the animation industry is full of assholes, hence everywhere you read for career advice they always mention, "a bad attitude is a deal breaker in the job market." Have a great attitute. You know why they always say that? Because the animation industry is full of people with bad attitudes.
Not really a happy bunch.
Well let me know when you find an industry that's NOT full of them, Pop Cultist. You can't get away from them... haha
Well, i guess every industry has bad people but after what i experienced in the industry i don't think i'll be looking for employment in 3D animation soon. unless ofcourse if i am really desperate.
Right now, i am done with know-it-alls, minimum wage, office politics and bad hours.
Sure i love animation and i dream of a nice office enviroment with nice people to work with.
But...The politics e.g. who did this? why? you should have done that! We don't trust you are good enough to handle this shot! Why give that shot to her? She can't it!
us v.s. them develops in an office quick.
Too much for me.
I'd rather do my own projects during weekends. You wonder why, if you read Dimitri's comment above, that "...10% of people he met in school are still working in the industry, most of them turned to other graphic jobs or went to a totally different industry..."
I suspect minimum wage, politics, bad people and bad hours. besides, i've never read anywhere where they advice e.g. a C++ programmer to have a good attitude. never. but read 3D career advice, its almost universal, "have a great attitude"?
they say that because they know that there is a type 3D "artist" that can make an office unbearable.
I'm not gonna lie, hearing that does deter me a little. But I still feel the animation industry is right for me.
I believe God gave me a passion for animation, and I'm going to try and honor Him with it.
As for the schmoes along the way, I'll just deal with them as they come.
yeah that report rocked! It was a little different in the results I had seen from a game developers magazine a few years ago but that was good news. Since my goal is eventually animation director this little look into the step ladder was really insightful and stimulating! Thanks AM! Can't wait for next fall to start!
great report..indeed! being an indian proud of my country's share in the industry. i just changed my career into animation recently.. your report made my decision mirthful! thanx a lot for the nice survey&report!
This Report is gonna be Legen... wait 4 it... dary! ;)
It answered more questions than I actually had but didn't wanna miss.
Thank you for the first report I ever read that covered the whole business and not just one branch or one special profession!
It's so great written and designed and the best is that so much information is put in just so few pages.
Now I feel much safer with my decision of becoming a CG-artist!
Please keep such reports coming!!
This was great!!! I read through it without stopping to play a game of Freecell. I agree with everyone else in saying that this is the first time I've seen a report catered to us.
I just hope I can find my fit eventually.
The media industry to reach $2.2 trillion? (p3 of report).
Hmm... how much of that actually trickles down to us animators? Or do most of it get stuck in the pockets of the studio executives? Or do they flow out to outsourcing centers in India and China?
Hi! I am currently a sophmore at a four year college hoping to go to AM during my junior and senior years. :) I'm so excited, I can't wait! Well, I have to earn the money(including getting my first job to afford AM, but it's worth it!) to go first but...
My school sadly doesn't offer a degree in animaton, like most colleges, and most of the top animation schools were too expensive. I'm so greatful you guys made AM, it's giving me a chance to learn animaton without having to go in debt for many years. :)
Thanks so much for writing this article the statistics were great and I really liked learning about all of it. Thanks for others posting what they know about the industy as well, I always thought that the a good decision must be well informed, as best as we can right? I know the industry is both growing and being outsourced making it harder for us to get a job, but if you really like what you do isn't it worth the chance to try? Thanks again, I hope to see you on AM soon!
Is there any chance you guys could post your sources for the report please? (Haha been doing too many research papers I guess.) I'd kind of like to read some of the reports your found stuff from and other reports our there. :)
Hi Karen!
Thanks for your interest in our report!
We commissioned a third-party firm to conduct the survey that was sent out to the animation industry. More than 1,200 professional animators from over a dozen countries responded to the survey. Most of the research is drawn from this survey.
Some of our outside sources include MPAA Theatrical Market Statistics, The Hollywood Reporter, Game Daily, and the U.S. Department of Labor. All of our sources are attributed throughout the report.
Hope that helps! Many of our students are in similar situations as you are -- they have attended a four-year university, but didn't gain character animation skills. So whatever path you decide to take, we wish you the best of luck!
-Animation Mentor Staff
Dear Animaton Mentor,
Thanks so much for repling to my post! Haha I feel like I am talking to a celebrity. :) Ok, I'll try to see what I can find out about all of those as best as I can. (Haha it's hard to find time inbetween a full schedule and trying to build a quality portfolio but this is really important to me.) I really think animation is one of the most fun fields out there and I only think we are so lucky to live in a century where we have the technology to make things the way we do now. (Haha sorry for the philsophical moment.)
Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about AM in general please? I'm still trying to presuade my parents that I really should go to AM and that animation is a good field. (They aren't too happy about allowing me to move to CA considering I live on the east coast now and the cost of living there is so expensive.)
Ok on to the questions:
1.) Is a portfolio needed to be accepted for AM(if so what should be included) and if not what are the students accepted based on?
2.) Are there ever scholarships for AM? (I know the cost of AM is 1,000 times cheaper than most animation schools but the cost is still kind of difficult to come up with.)
3.) I noticed that AM mostly uses premade characters, I was really hoping to create some of my own for my demo reel(half of the fun of it, you know?), does AM still allow students to do character design in their clips?
Thanks so much for your help!
This survey is very useful specially for me to decide my future plan ,thanks for this ,and now i am studying diploma in 3D ANIMATION (certified by CAMBRIDGE UNIV ),is it enough to get jobs in abroad -balaG (INDIA)
Thanks for the report , took a big chuck of the pressure off. Im a final year student in university and about to head into the big bad world.
Its Great what you guys at AM are doing really seems to be growing into the heart of the animation community.
Just a question you mention the importance of finding a mentor. I would really like to be some ones apprentice , but how do you approach some one about such a thing, just say it straight up?
Maybe you'd be interested in this idea for a feature in your blog: show people how to HIRE an animator. I'm trying to find one and don't even begin to know where to start, what to expect to pay, how long it takes for a typical project (30 second commercial, for example). It's overwhelming. ::sigh:: But I'll add, it's been fun watching all the clips when I do a search!
Thank you very much for the report. I found myself laughing in agreement and happiness at many of the things said, and also a joy in my heart.
I think I may be called to the Animation Industry, and so now it's time to start trying out some of the programs and see how I do!
Thank you for your Report. It was very very helpful and inspiring. I will continue to check back on AnimationMentor.com until I graduate this year, and perhaps, if God wills it and gives me life, I'll join the school too!
-Juan J. Castaneda, student at Ave Maria University, philosophy major.
This is the best thing i have ever read,
seriously amazing !!!
AM you rock !!!
shawn kelly, aaron , mayy strington...
i am your biggest FAN
Does any study show where animators work? I don't necessarily mean companies, but cities and states. As someone in the midwest, I don't really look forward to having to move to a major market like California in order to really survive. Is it possible to thrive as an animator and not live in L.A., Florida or SoCal?
That graphics are really awesome and really important for us.So please keep sharing... Best animation Collage in Indore

Sick of step aerobics? Tired of tennis, but still want to stay in shape? If you're looking for something to shake up your workout routine, try t'ai chi. T'ai chi (pronounced: tie chee) is great for improving flexibility and strengthening your legs, abs, and arms. Get ready to "Part the Horse's Mane," and give t'ai chi a try!
When you think about martial arts, karate and judo may come to mind. T'ai chi, sometimes called t'ai chi chuan, is also an ancient Chinese martial art form that was developed to enhance both physical and emotional well-being.
It's been said that t'ai chi is a combination of moving yoga and meditation. A person performs t'ai chi by practicing breathing exercises and a series of slow, graceful, flowing postures (also called poses) simultaneously. The postures consist of movements that are said to improve body awareness and enhance strength and coordination. Many people who practice t'ai chi say that they feel more peaceful and relaxed after a workout.
T'ai chi was developed in ancient China as early as 225 AD. The ancient Chinese believed that the body was filled with energy, or chi, but chi could become blocked, causing illness and disease. They believed that a person could help improve the flow of chi throughout the body and improve health by practicing t'ai chi exercises.
The many different styles of t'ai chi include:
The different types vary in intensity and focus. For example, Sun style is known for its fast footwork. The low-impact movements of Hao style can be practiced by people who are elderly or have special needs. In general, though, practicing t'ai chi improves strength, flexibility, and respiratory function.
You have many choices when it comes to choosing a t'ai chi workout. Many fitness centers and YMCAs offer t'ai chi classes, and many t'ai chi instructors also offer private classes. You may also want to try a t'ai chi video — there are several excellent videos just for beginners. Instructional websites, CD-ROMs, and books are also available to help you learn more about t'ai chi.
Before you start your first t'ai chi workout, you should dress comfortably so you can move and stretch easily. Shorts or tights and a T-shirt or tank top are great choices. Because t'ai chi is a martial art, some people who practice it wear a martial arts training uniform. T'ai chi is usually practiced barefoot or in comfortable socks and sneakers.
During a t'ai chi class, you'll participate in forms. Each form is a series of movements (also called poses) performed in a specific order. The poses that make up the forms sometimes have visually descriptive names, such as "White Crane Spreads Its Wings" and "Grasp Sparrow's Tail."
Here are a few poses that you might encounter if you take a t'ai chi class or watch a t'ai chi video:
Before you begin any type of exercise program, it's always a good idea to talk to your doctor, especially if you have a health problem. But unlike many other sports, t'ai chi is based on continuous, flowing, low-impact movements, so it's a good workout choice for just about anyone.
Is your schedule jam-packed with school, work, and social activities? Here are a few tips for fitting in fitness and staying motivated:
There's one caution about starting a t'ai chi routine, though: Once you start, you might not be able to stop!

The Thomson X4 is stronger and 30 grams lighter than the Thomson Elite 25.4 mountain stem, and features a traditional steerer clamp that is shaped to save weight and be knee friendly. The X4 is absolutely the best combination of strength and weight available.
I got a 50mm stem for my Yeti SB66 and, as always, Thomson has designed yet another masterpiece of aluminum perfection. Some products & components are high priced because they're trendy, but not Thomson. The good folks at Thomson put some serious thought into the design of their components. This stem is freakishly light and once you put it on, you'll never think about it again. I've pinned my front wheel into deep rocks that had me yanking hard on the bars in a way that would have other bars getting out of alignment but not my Thomson. I've also had several garage sale style crashes and although other things have had to be realigned afterward, my Thomson stem does its job of keeping the steering crisp, straight and on track each & every ride. If you're like me, I was once hesitant to invest in such a high priced component for fear that it was just expensive because that's just the way it was. But trust me, this is an investment that is worth every penny. If you haven't experienced the joy of breaking a stem mid-ride let me tell you this: it's not a fun way to hit the dirt & rocks. I've broken several stems in my day, but never a Thomson. I've been running Thomson's components for about 15 years and I've loved/trusted each & every one of them.
It is expensive, and there are lighter stems but man this thing is "well-made personified". If you want a stem that is crazy built, very reasonably light and looks great this is the one to get.
Made in Macon, GA, these are very high quality stems. Yes they are more costly but they will look great after years of use.
Built up my new Ellsworth Evolution from PP with Thomson post stem and bars. The stuff just works...so far, Thomson products have never failed me on a bike...ever. I have been lured to some other products before to save a few grams, or because they looked a little better, but I am happily back on Thomson. The stem bar clamp area seems much more solid then the Easton I was considering buying again (EA70), and seems stiffer.
This is my third Thomson Elite X4 stem. I will keep using these until someone makes one lighter, stiffer, and better looking. Thomson quality is the best. Thomson seat posts are great too.
I only use Thomson stems on my bikes. I have a 50mm on my Pivot Firebird, a 70mm on my Pivot Mach 5.7 and a 90mm on my Vetana El Ciclon and all of them are just awesome. The quality is unbeatable, clamp firmly and evenly and they look great.

FSA SL-K Carbon Stem
Retail Price: $100.00buy now

We keep seeing more and more of the peloton reverting back to the tried and true reliability of aluminum stems, and the FSA SL-K Carbon Stem makes a good argument for why. Pairing the latest in alloy forging technology with lightweight carbon fiber, the SL-K Carbon improves on the past without abandoning the future. With a foot on each side of the line, FSA provides a stiff support for the handlebars at a weight that's in line with carbon and titanium. FSA's SL-K Carbon Stem is constructed from a mix of CNC machined 2014 aluminum and a carbon fiber composite. To guarantee rigidity, FSA 3D forged the aluminum stem body. This process starts with one ingot of aluminum that gets bored out and shaped internally; ultimately improving the aluminum's grain structure, eliminating the use of welds, and drastically reducing weight. The benefits to you are a heightened stiffness, with weight comparable to carbon fiber, at a considerably lower cost. To maintain the flow of weight savings, the SL-K uses a carbon fiber face plate with chromoly hardware. The SL-K Carbon features a 40mm fork-clamp stack height with a 6 degree rise. FSA has included clamp-to-clamp model graphics that run inverse of each other to keep the aesthetic unchanged whether you slam the stem or run positive rise. It is only compatible with 1-1/8in steerer tubes and 31. 8mm clamp diameter handlebars. The FSA SL-K Carbon Stem is available in five sizes, from 90mm to 130mm, and in the colors Black and Black/white.

Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
early 14c., "to escape, to move softly and quickly," from an unrecorded Old English word or cognate Middle Low German slippen "to glide, slide," from Proto-Germanic *slipan (cf. Old High German slifan, Middle Dutch slippen, German schleifen "to glide, slide"), from PIE *sleib-, from root *(s)lei- "slimy, sticky, slippery" (see slime (n.)).
From mid-14c. with senses "lose one's footing," "slide out of place," "fall into error or fault." Sense of "pass unguarded or untaken" is from mid-15c. That of "slide, glide" is from 1520s. Transitive sense from 1510s; meaning "insert surreptitiously" is from 1680s. Related: Slipped; slipping. To slip up "make a mistake" is from 1855; to slip through the net "evade detection" is from 1902.
mid-15c., "edge of a garment;" 1550s, "narrow strip," probably from Middle Low German or Middle Dutch slippe "cut, slit," possibly related to Old English toslifan "to split, cleave." Sense of "narrow piece of paper" (e.g. pink slip) in 1680s.
in various senses from slip (v.). Meaning "act of slipping" is from 1590s. Meaning "mistake, minor fault, blunder" is from 1610s. Sense of "woman's sleeveless garment" (1761) is from notion of something easily slipped on or off (cf. sleeve). To give (someone) the slip "escape from" is from 1560s. Meaning "landing place for ships" is mid-15c.; more technical sense in ship-building is from 1769. Slip of the tongue (1725) is from earlier slip of the pen (1650s), which makes more sense as an image.
"potter's clay," mid-15c., "mud, slime," from Old English slypa, slyppe "slime, paste, pulp, soft semi-liquid mass," related to slupan "to slip" (see sleeve).
"sprig or twig for planting or grafting, small shoot," late 15c., of uncertain origin. Cf. Middle Dutch slippe, German schlippe, schlipfe "cut, slit, strip." Hence "young person of small build" (1580s, e.g. a slip of a girl); see slip (n.1).
To exaggerate and lie; talk smoothly and persuasively; bullshit, shoot the bull: The chief reason for the conversational effectiveness of many individuals is their inherent ability to sling it (1940s+)
1. Serial Line Internet Protocol.
2. Symmetric LIst Processsor. Early 1960's list processing subroutine package for Fortran by J. Weizenbaum. Later also embedded in MAD and ALGOL. ["Symmetric List Processor", J. Weizenbaum CACM 6:524-544(1963). Sammet 1969, p.387].
in engineering and physics, sliding displacement along a plane of one part of a crystal relative to the rest of the crystal under the action of shearing forces-that is, forces acting parallel to that plane. Much of the permanent, or plastic, deformation of materials under stress is the result of slip within the individual crystals that constitute the material. Slip and an alternate mode of deformation, twinning, are the only ways that crystals in solids can be permanently deformed. In slip, all the atoms on one side of the slip (or glide) plane do not slide simultaneously from one set of positions to the next. The atoms move sequentially one row at a time into the next position along the plane because of structural defects or spaces, called edge dislocations, in the crystal that move at the same rate in the opposite direction.
