Description:
Teams of CG animators from around the world forgo sleep and resist several staged distractions for 32 non-stop hours to produce the best character-driven animation in the universe.
Animation is not just character movement. It is storytelling, design, mood, character, teamwork, and many other elements that combine to create magic. FJORG! celebrates this process. The mission of FJORG! is to create a pressure cooker of opportunity for animators seeking a high-profile event in which to showcase their skills.
