- Blogging the 'Showcomotion' Conference
-
This is fantastic: David Kleeman, President of the American Center for Children and Media, is blogging from the Showcomotion Children’s Media Conference right now in Sheffield, UK.
He offers some great thoughts on the state of children’s television programming, what might be the next forms of content distribution, how it looks when families play together, and more.
The closing words from Thursday’s plenary session, which was held in honor of the late, great Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin:
“Kids don’t get bored because programs move too slowly; they get bored when they can’t understand what’s going on. At the animatic stage, we know what every character in every second of ‘Shaun the Sheep’ is thinking, and if we don’t we fix it before we go on.”
– Richard Goleszowski, Aardman Entertainment
