Yes here is in Kenya. The people still have a long wat to go that is why I am considering such a long roadmap. Animation is very complicated, and to make a large production one must consider utilizing teams of people specialized in about six areas. I am familiar with how much a properly modeled character costs, and It might well be cheaper to buy an Escalade.

However if the people can build their skills, animators who have ideas, and access to venture capital, can take advantage of the labor here.

You see I am working on an economic theory called economies of symbiosis that utilizes, and identifies relationships in nature that are also relative to socio-economic activity. I am focusing on establishing positive relationships in which both parties benefit.

Granted it is impossible for the talented animator to take advantage of his orher ideas, it can be made possible if they seek to develop their ideas where it is affordable. No one in a big production house like Pixar, Disney, etc would consider the ideas of the little guys, but the little guys in the states can be big guys in developing nations.

In fact with the current economic situation, venture capitalists would be looking for options to develop a better yeild for their buck.

I am currently working on a project that helps people in slums, and within a year I am applying for a world bank grant to purchase motion capture suits, and much more, under the poverty reduction, and development programs.

I am also applying for another grant after I complete the first stage of my working thesis. Most of the grant money will be invested in my animation project. That will actually establish a way for Kenyan animators to sell their commodities to networks. The cool thing is, some will want to use the network I set up, while others will want to just be employed. Some will also want to work on projects to build skills, and gain extra cash. That is where animators in the states can benefit. They can use the cheap labor to produce either short films, or full features, for numerous markets.

I am talking Japan, China, and more, not just the US. This wonderful thing called Disney will distribute your work, although Disney (Buena Vista) has a large appetite.

It was developed at NYU under the direction of Ken Perlin. He holds the patents for them. Orchestrate 3D is non linear animation. I am still waiting for information from some people, but everyone is hush about it. I think one of the big boys moved in and Flashed a bunch of money, like Microsoft
