We have news today for our Aussie friends. If you were looking for a 3-D animation job in Sydney, Happy Feet is now taking resumes. We get the following news from our friends at comingsoon:
The Age is reporting that Warner Bros. Pictures will make Happy Feet 2 at a new digital production facility in Sydney, Australia. NSW Minister of State Development Ian Macdonald revealed on Sunday that the George Miller-directed sequel will employ an average of 438 people over three years. They will include some 230 computer-generated imaging artists.
This is more of a job posting than a news item that we may discuss. I wasn’t looking forward to a Happy Feet follow up, but I’m glad that 438 people will enjoy employment because of it.
If any of you are Australian animators and intend to apply for this job, please keep us informed of your progress and fill us in on details of the process itself!
