Wanted: animators! Sometimes companies and initiatives are in dire need of a truly creative artist, so they turn to an animator to get their messages across. This year, we’re also including music videos, expanding the creative horizon. Not only good for money and fame, but it also means that we get a freakin’ good programme of ‘commissioned’ shorts, including the exciting realm of music videos.
