Fellowship/Intern (Revised)

Internships:
1.Cosmic Toast Studios interests me because it is located in California and it it airs in one-hundred and seventy five countries. The network focuses in on making memorable characters which I think is an important element while working in my chosen career. The company also supports the addition of learning in their production. In Slangman's  World, a live action animated sequence, teaches people about other cultures and languages.

2.Mondo Mini Shows is a animation channel via internet that produces shorts and advertisements. I believe that an internship to this place will help me learn about producing my animation to a mass audience. Cult cartoon, Happy Friends, was created at this company. This new-age form of cartooning works on keeping the attention of the audience, which I need to learn. Happy Friends started on Mondo Mini Shows and is now a television series. It is located in San Francisco, which is an ideal vacation area while I'm exploring.

3. New York is a city that captivates much of the media.  Ace and Son is a new company that works with animation and commercial design. This company, before renovated, used to be called Asterik Animation which pilots Comedy Central. The media used at Ace and Son is limitless, containing even stop-motion and hand-drawn animations. I believe this place would be a perfect spot to get an idea of the animation shown in America.

Fellowship:
When researching for traveling fellowships I found a major company in Europe that has a connections with my goals. I first tried to look for fellowships for graffiti arts because I know it's a big deal in Europe. While brainstorming I narrowed down to focus in on fellowships that relate to my actual career. In Belgium, there is a company called Cartoon Connection. A non-profit organization funded bye MEDIA international.  This company provides informative speakers presentations where the Economics and a co-production case studies is explained. Cartoon Connections share mutual knowledge with Latin-America and Canada. Personally I chose Belgium to look at where some of the Gothic and Romanesque paintings started and I would like to learn about Folklore culture. I believe I qualify to expand my knowledge of Animation because it is my chosen career. To me, it's intriguing to see how other countries approach Animation and the style of it.
