Animation Y’all! is an animation industry expo hosted on the Lipscomb campus and produced by animation legends, Tom and Tony Bancroft (Disney animators and directors/The Bancroft Brothers Animation Podcast).
Special Guests include: Mel Milton, John Pomeroy, Stephen Silver, Scott Christian Sava, Andreas Deja and Aaron Blaise.
The second Animation Y'all! expo includes industry panels, animation special guests, art and product demonstrations, artist vendor tables and booths from colleges, local studios and animation product suppliers. It was a fantastic hit!
This year, the expo offers four, separately ticketed, exclusive classes with industry pros. Get unprecedented access to some of the greatest creative minds as they teach subjects close to their hearts and expertise. Each ticket is $30, and the need for a full-day ticket isn't necessary.
At Saturday's main event, four independent professional creators, Aaron Blaise, Nathan Engelhardt, Bryan Engram, and Jon Densk, share their pitches for their dream projects and reveal their process for seeking funding and distribution.
Entry prices range from $250 to $50.
