Janet Scagnelli, who made her career as an animator for dozens of commercials and TV shows, has created A HISTORY OF ANIMTATED TV COMMERCIALS. This one time only event features a variety of hand-drawn and puppet-animated techniques. It screens at this year’s James River Film Festival on 3/23, 3:30 at the VMFA. We’ll talk about:
– Getting paid to animate at age 13
– Creating numerous commercials at her Chelsea Animation
– Her other business restoring animation cels
– Working on spots for Sesame Street, Nickelodeon & MTV
– Some examples of the vintage commercials (including one with music by Frank Zappa)
