Vancouver animation studio nominated for Elans
The Vancouver animation house Studio B has been nominated for 18 Elan awards, the Canadian video game and animation equivalent of the Oscars. Which is a silly way of describing the awards but I stole it from the CBC [cbc].
Studio B was nominated for their work on UbiSoft’s video game adaptation of Peter Jackson’s King Kong movie and the game Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. They’re also nominated for a load of kids television shows.
Okay, so maybe describing them as the Canadian animation Oscars wasn’t the CBC’s brilliant idea but the awards themselves. Quoted in the CBC’s article the awards’ publicist Holly Carinci said, “We want the show to be spectacular. I am very serious about Oscar dress and black tie.”
Because people in animation are as just like movie stars.
The awards will be presented in Richmond’s River Rock Show Theatre on September 14th, because Richmond is the new Hollywood North.
