Request for Question Clarification by mother-ga on 21 Aug 2002 15:17 PDT

Hello,

To give you a targeted answer, do you want studios producing
traditional animation (i.e. hand-drawn, clay, etc.) or "new media"
(i.e. Flash/web animation) or 3D animation? What sorts of projects are
you aiming for? Commercials, features, television? Do you have a
preference or do you just want every studio in Italy doing all of the
above? Thanks in advance.
