THE PROJECT
Together, under the guidance of Tink Tank’s Creator & Lead Mentor, multi award winning Director/Animator, Tawd b. Dorenfeld, we will create a long form animated movie in which everyone will get to create their very own short scene using the simple parameters set out by Tink Tank Animate (this is a secret until the first day of the workshop.) The individual short scenes will be written by you, designed by you, and animated by you. If voice overs are needed, we will enlist either yourself or use one of the Voice Over actors on our VO roster. (see Voice Over Actor Workshop at end of this notice). All content must be family friendly.
In addition to the main movie, a Behind-The-Scenes film will be created, allowing each participant screen time to discuss the scene they created.
Note* The Project at hand has been designed to engage the most novice of artists to the most advanced of artists. Together we will all support each other and make a beautiful masterpiece together.

Project Director: Tawd b. Dorenfeld has come from a rich history of award winning animation production, music video production, film, and television production. And if you know anything about Tink Tank Animate, you know he focuses all of that knowledge onto the neurodiverse artists who participate in the Tink Tank programs.
Production Mentor: Douglas Freel has produced some of the biggest music videos from the late 80’s into the 90’s, until he began splitting his personal feature film projects with discovering and producing much of Dorenfeld’s work. For the past year Doug has also been divulging tricks of the trade to the neurodiverse artists at Tink Tank.
Production Mentor: Kristin Kucia is another substantial autism whisperer who has spent innumerable years fostering vocational skills and writing skills for the neurodiverse community. Her collaboration with Dorenfeld began over 5 years ago as they developed programs and divisions at Los Angeles’ premiere animation trade school, Exceptional Minds. Kristin is excited to work with the Tink Tank Artists on this collaborative project because of their independent creative expression is what artistry is all about.
