Explore the key responsibilities, core competencies, and the mindset needed to succeed as an animation producer.
Note: Masterclass 1 is offered both as an in-person event in Viborg on September 8 and as an online session on September 9.
In this introductory masterclass, producer Søren Fleng guides participants through the many roles and responsibilities of the animation producer. Drawing on real-world experience from the international industry, Søren provides an overview of the essential skills, mindset, and tools needed to thrive in the producer role — whether working on short films, series, or large-scale productions.
