4mation begins scout for animation creators

23 October 2008 11:12

Channel Four's animation channel, 4mations, has launched a nationwide hunt for original and thought-provoking new talent in the animation world, it has been reported.

In an effort to market the channel as well as attract new talent to the broadcaster, 4mation has teamed up with the UK Film Council and 13 other partners to offer commissions of between £10,000 and £15,000 to successful applicants.

Jan Younghusband, Channel 4's commissioning editor for arts and performance, said in a Drum report that "Channel Four has been a major supporter of the UK animation industry for the past 25 years".

"This year we enjoyed Oscar success with Suzie Templeton's film of Peter and the Wolf and are continuing our commitment to animation with the launch of 4mations Digital Shorts," she added.

Applicants can enter until November 10th and will discover if they are successful in December this year.

Like many other broadcasters, Channel Four is likely to be watching its recruitment carefully as advertising-reliant media is subject to heavy budget cuts in the economic downturn.

It may be speculated that graduate recruitment may fare better in the channel than in others, however, given Channel Four's history of supporting fresh ideas.
