Dear Jill,

Concerning: Issue "Writing for Animation".

As I have lately been involved in writing for a "performance capture"  
3D movie, which is a mix of 3D Animation and live action in a motion/ 
facial, crowd... capture studio, I would suggest to include this form  
or writing in your issue "writing  for animation".

It was the first time I experienced it and it  was a special  
experience, I recognize. I am really looking forward for other  
contributions of authors and I still have many questions about it.

One of the producer I know, told me:  there is more interest , for  
example from Spain, in using "performance capture" technology. I think  
there will be more productions, and more need for writers.


Best regards,


Hugo
