Hi CATs!
Our community has grown to almost 2.000 members and with this amount of people comes a great amount of brilliant work by fellow CATs. Hereâs one project weâd like to celebrate today:
Long-standing CAT member Paras Chopra collaborated with animator Robert Grieves to create an educational video series on climate change. Through the process of creating the series, Paras used CAT to gather feedback and said that the encouragement and detailed feedback from the community kept him going with his first ever short film. Within 2 months of work, the trilogy of animated shorts was done.
Watch the first one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv42PQ-Xxj8

If you have a project you want feedback on, you can always post it #d-share-your-work.
Remember you can unsubscribe (|UNSUB|) from this newsletter at any time.
Have a great week!
