Warner Bros. Animation

Yesterday at Warner Bros. Animation, I had the opportunity to present a pitch of the short film I’ve spent the past year producing: The Parade Short Film, in front of all sorts of people at WBA. Like the My Adventures with Superman Team, Fiona and Cake Team, my own awesome team: Batwheels, super rad execs, and many others. The nerves were nerving. I talked a bit about how I stuggle with anxiety on a daily basis, and even jokingly asked: Why would someone with anxiety go into production? Especially when one of the biggest responsibilities is how the heck you’re going to accomplish it all? Turns out, I’m not alone in my struggle. In fact, I fit right in! Being a producer on The Parade and working with so many young and beautiful minds, was how I fell in love with production and got my dream internship. My experience producing a short film with student artists and seeing it all come together is something I found very addicting and has catapulted me into the animation industry here at Warner Bros. where I found even more people like me. As I said yesterday during the Q&A, when I was a child I used to swear I would never work in a big building hidden away in a cubical, but being surrounded by artists, creatives, and other like-minded people was the key I was missing. I think that’s why, through all the chaos in the industry, we all stick around. The animation world isn’t going anywhere no matter how hard it gets, because we all love what we do. Next week is my final week here at WBD, but you’re still going to see many more posts about everything I learned on the Batwheels team, from my fellow amazing interns, and from all the other talented people I met here. Thank you for reading this far and I hope you have an great rest of your day!💕

There are good weeks at work (Warner Bros Animation/Cartoon Network Studios/Hanna-Barbera Studios UK) and then there are GREAT weeks! This week saw the launch of our in-house ASL Class for our Artists and Production Teams. This is a pilot 8 week course that came about from an interaction I had with a young Artist who relied on ASL to communicate. It was a big push but I'm thrilled with the launch of this program. We're already practicing phrases in the halls! :) We love our Instructor - the amazing Natasha Ofil (Natasha Ofili) and it was great to have our President - Sam Register - stop in to say "Hi"! #warnerbrosanimation #cns #cartoonnetworkstudios #wba #asl
