On November 28th, my class was visited by one of the founding members and producer of Yeti Farm Creative, Ashley Ramsay. Yeti Farm is a 2D animation company based in Kelowna that has worked on such Teletoon shows such as Rocket Monkeys, and has also done work for commercials for companies like Starbucks.
She talked to us about how a 2D animation is produced, through each stages and the timeline to create a season.She had shown us a good example of this with a production sheet for Pirate Express.
I did find it interesting to see how all of the work per episode overlapped for each week, but to be honest I did not learn anything new. I had known much of the process before. but it was still nice to her more in depth about it from someone in the field. A couple years ago I talked with Greg Huculak, an animator from Vancouver, and his wife is also a producer and they both gave me some insight on the animation industry as Ashley did.
Overall I enjoyed her visit, I did find seeing the chart gave me a better understanding on the timelines they have to work with when animating cartoons like I would like to do one day.
