Individual Reading Response
This week I read an article titled “Collaboration in Animation: Working together to Empower Indigenous Youth” by Melanie Davenport and Karin Gunn. Melanie and Karin bring animation to a semi remote high school in Mexico. They teach the kids the fundamentals of animation and help the students create a film. Karin and Melanie show the films at film festivals. They give the students the realization they have the power to spread a powerful message in an unfamiliar format. On page 8 of the article Melanie states “Key to the success of our collaboration is the fact that both our individual skill sets and our individual professional goals are complementary and not competitive.” This is an important statement in her article.
