If it were possible, could you tell me what it's like to pay fees and be an animator? Can you get paid well or suffocate? And do you only work when you have a project? So it's over and you need to have money saved? If you could, could you talk from when you were a junior to the present$? I am concerned about how underpaid we artists are in the world at large. So having a perception of someone older and who has been through things can help me to expand and deal with this insecurity. Taking advantage of this, a second question, do you think the market in france is as good as in canada and the usa? Because I know that the work centers are more there than in Europe, so would you have an opinion on or recommend a channel or article about?
this is a bigger conversation than i think i have the ability to answer myself haha but i can provide my personal experience and some of what i've heard from others. i'm also going to speak strictly as a 3D animator, not a storyboard/design/other artist. people are absolutely able to live well as animators, though it can take some time and luck to get there. but with more and more studios unionizing, wage negotiations may be easier in the future to climb the wage ladder more quickly. LOTS of people feel very stuck where they are living paycheck to paycheck working in anim because of studios that are unwilling to negotiate better wages or pay OT (tv studios are the worst at this, but feature studios are guilty too) so a lot of it unfortunately depends on your negotiation skills
i started on $600/wk when i got my first job in 3D animation in 2010. it went up slightly with each new contract since then. my biggest raise i got was actually VERY recently when i became a lead on spiderverse. school was relatively cheap for me (the animation course at capilano university was something like $8k for the whole 2 years) so i don't have any student debt. i also lived with my parents for several years while i worked and saved money. after 8 years in tv and now 5 years at sony, i'm getting paid enough to live comfortably on my own in downtown vancouver and take long vacations between movies
animation work is mostly contract based, so your pay ends when your contract does. i went on employment insurance once when i was in between contracts, but other than that i've been able to keep pretty steady work and have never felt the need to leave vancouver. lots of people hop from studio to studio as a way of getting a higher wage more quickly
i'm afraid i don't know really anything about the animation industry in europe, sorry! here's a helpful anonymous wage form that the saltyanimators insta put together: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hLki-RUHJXgYj_RJKWlwUXfrWUWEi9yIcyLzEifxYrY/edit#gid=143902278 you can filter it by location to find how much folks are getting paid in europe

Episode 5, “The Oracle of the Whispering Remains” - we’re 5 for 5 on the titles. I’m starting to doubt Kennedy’s statement that they aren’t all accurate.
So we didn’t get a ton of detail in this description. But we do have a bunch of BTS content from filming AND some scenes from the trailer that I believe are from this episode based on outfits and other BTS. The following is pretty spoilery and also a lot of conjecture and my crazy theories based on the available photos and trailer, so be warned!
The first line of the two line description: “The Drew Crew discover a clue in an unexpected place.”
Is this back of the Claw scene from the extended trailer the unexpected place? In the scene above the object seemingly magically opens up to this:
And we also see this object in this scene from the trailer:
Courtesy of NancyDrewGIFs
What is this MacGuffin? I mused in an earlier post on the trailer that maybe it was an oversized chess piece and/or part of some kind of supernatural scavenger hunt. Since we know the mystery is tied up in the town’s history, and there’s a thread that will unravel everything according to the disgraced Judge Abbott, could it be a magical object left behind by the founders? Could it be some sort of time travel portal device (since we have hints of time travel later in the trailer)? Is it the key to getting into the creepy crypt with skeletons Nancy investigates? Or is it a way to decode the symbols on the corpses’ teeth?
From wardrobe most or all of these scenes are from the same episode, which we know is Episode 5 from both the timing of the behind the scenes content back in September here and here, and from the promo shot in the S4 press release from January that was identified as from Episode 5.
There’s BTS from night and daytime woods scenes with the whole crew including Ace and Nick:
From the Claw and from somewhere with Nancy and George running:
We also have this trailer scene that I believe is in the Claw and seems creepy but pretty sure that’s Ace’s hand. Is the halo a trick of the light or some kind of time portal?
Only room for one more photo, but I have a ton from the fictitious Clifton University location from this timeframe:
We know they filmed at Capilano University in North Vancouver (because there was a location filming notice shared on Twitter), but I believe they turned it into Clifton U. - and I think both George and possibly Ace attend. I suspect the running scene is also set there from the posters and signs in Kennedy’s Twitter photo. I do wonder if this is after another time jump but hard to say for sure.
This didn’t give us everything, but quite a few intriguing hints of hidden depths in Horseshoe Bay, possibly artifacts and a crypt beneath maybe the Claw or even the University (rewatch the trailer in slow mo to see all the scenes of Nancy creeping around in the crypt), and maybe where she finds the origin of the teeth symbols. It must have been put there by the founders. Is it their version of Skull & Bones, i.e. an old founders’ secret club to allow them live forever? Could the founders have carved symbols on the dead’s teeth that somehow marked them to rise at some point? Or to buy them some kind of favor in the afterlife? This is really getting deep!
The title of the episode shouldn’t be ignored. Who or what is the oracle - is it the wooden skeleton device from the trailer? Is it the magical object above that Nick and the others find in the Claw? And do the remains actually whisper - does Ace use his ability to listen to the dead with his sound equipment to hear them? I did explore this idea in The Space Between, would love to see him take an active part in solving the mystery. Nice to see him feature prominently in this episode - we’re all in fear of a (temporary) Nace blowout after Ep. 3, so glad at least they are sleuthing together.
Speaking of teeth, we also have the second part of the one sentence description, where they “call in someone from George’s past to help find answers.” The obvious suspect is George’s deadbeat dad the dentist - maybe he sheds some light on the age of the teeth and the markings? I’d love a Victoria appearance personally. She’s also not a Parent of the Year nominee, but she’s hilarious and has supernatural abilities and lore that could help the Drew Crew.
Whew, that was fun! Can’t wait for all of the mystery to unfold!

WINDOW 57: VIVIENNE BESSETTE (JANUARY 28 - MARCH 17, 2023)
WINNIPEG’S ONLY 24 HOUR ARTIST-RUN CENTRE PRESENTS VIVIENNE BESSETTE
Location: Artspace Building, corner of Bannatyne @ Arthur [sidewalk level]
window is pleased to present our fifty-seventh installation:
~~
Image descriptions:
[Image 1]: An oversize poster hangs in the window. It is green throughout with details in red, yellow, purple, and blue. It reads "COMPOST HOTLINE. Dial Now!" Strips dangle at the bottom with a phone number on some of them, as if ready to tear off. The imagery includes a red phone, compost, and superimposed images of flowers and organic material.
[Image 2]: A regular size version of Bessette's poster is stapled up on an outdoor bulletin, among other posters.
~~
Party line, 2023
Material list: RJ-45 talking to RJ-11, exponential growth of compost slime, spiritual technology of the tear-off flyer, landlordism, call waiting as extra sensory perception, antidote.
By Vivienne Bessette. On view until March 17, 2023.
~~
Artist statement:
The compost hotline is just a phone number but it is also a network of gardens, an imaginary friend and an always-developing informal online collab space where artists, gardeners and community organizers can temporarily freeze the flow of the internet (spirit net) to reflect and share research, personal archives, or the 2am–4am late-night google unconscious. It is meant as an alternative to death for precious trans liminal space, digital scraps, not-to-be-forgotten embodiments, or otherwise entombed hard drive materials. To apply, upload files into the google drive as a constellation of web links, screen shots, images, a recording, or text about what is keeping you up at night. ~~ About the artist:
Vivienne Bessette (b. 1982) is a queer settler & interdisciplinary artist whose ancestry ties them to Ireland, Croatia, France, and the Metis settlements of Cayer, MB, and Red River. Bessette incorporates drawing, painting, woodworking, sculpting, dying, writing, fermenting and building relationships with plants into their practice. They work in and out of the studio, the garden and the kitchen, developing sustainable and alternative modes of food production and utilizing unconventional materials. The strength of entangled and interdependent community is at the stomach of Bessette’s process. Bessette holds a BFA from Simon Fraser University. They have been involved with multiple garden and food-based collectives, including Commons Garden at Sahalli Park Community Garden, Garden Don’t Care, Looking at the Garden Fence, and the project What artists bring to the table for the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria with Derya Akay and Kurtis Wilson. Bessette was a Food Coordinator for Slow Waves Small Projects on Mayne Island. They have been published in The Capilano Review (“Pattern of Pears,” 2020 and “Organize Your Building with the Support of the Vancouver Tenants Union with the Belvedere Residents,” 2018). They live and work on the stolen and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlí̓lwətaʔɬ Nations.
window is located on Treaty 1 Territory, the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples and the Homeland of the Métis Nation. window is co-curated by Noor Bhangu, Mariana Muñoz Gomez, and Jennifer Smith.
This installation was made possible with the generous support of the Winnipeg Arts Council.

All I’ve ever wanted to be was an artist*. I wanted to make art that would make people happy or excited, that would make them laugh or smile. I wanted to make art that made people as happy as other people's art made me.
I started drawing further back than I can remember. In my living memory, there was never a time when drawing wasn't a fundamental part of who I was. As a child, I was never without paper or pencil.
Eventually, I decided I wanted to make comic books. When I was around 12 years old, I looked up a local comic artist named Ken Steacy in the phone book, and cold called him to ask for advice. He grimly advised me not to pursue a career in comics. (Ken and I are now good friends, and I still enjoy reminding him of this incident even 30+ years later)
Heeding the venerable Mr. Steacy's warning that the comics industry was awful, I switched my focus to animation. Eventually I would go to animation school at Capilano College (Now Capilano University) where I completed both the digital and classical animation programs.
Only barely though. My personal life at the time was pretty dire, unbeknownst to most people. I was trapped in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship. My partner demanded pretty much the totality of my time outside of school and work. Failure to comply resulted in beatings and degradation. It's honestly a wonder I managed to get my assignments done at all, and that was mostly achieved by only sleeping 2 to 3 hours a night.
Needless to say, the quality of my work suffered enormously under those conditions. Upon graduation, I did not have a demo reel of sufficient quality to find work in the industry, which my partner used as further ammunition to keep me in my place.
By this point I was thoroughly broken, and my artistic output ceased almost entirely. It wasn't until a few years later, when I finally escaped that relationship, that I started drawing again. I was never the same though. A near decade's worth of constant belittlement and derision over my abilities left deep wounds in my confidence.
Over the years, I've been friends with many artists who have gone on to be well known and respected. I'm deeply proud of all of them. I buy all of their work, and push it on people whenever I have the chance. Even if I haven't been in contact with them for years or decades. It fills my heart to see them succeeding, even if that joy comes with the ache of knowing I'll never get there myself.
* Okay, also a Ghostbuster.

COMMUNITY PROFILE
“Creativity isn't just when you're writing poetry, it's about how you live your life.”
Meet Jai, the epitome of a “multi-pie guy”. His full life is a tapestry deeply woven with creativity, innovation, and community. A few of Jai’s pursuits span the realms of poetry, music, co-housing, writing, and cooking. His mind is constantly innovating and creativity is a part of his daily life. He also finds solace in slowing down to create space to fully savour his creative process.
As a co-cordinator and instructor at the Capilano University, IDEA School of Design, he co-developed the Interaction Design program. Jai works in user experience (UX) research to help people and organizations discover how their products and services interact with people. People and technology are at the heart of his career.
Jai’s heart also beats for service - he is a respite foster care parent and a board member with Brightside Community Housing as well as a volunteer at MOSAIC, assisting newcomers to Canada find job opportunities. In every facet of his life, Jai stays true to his values whether that be writing music or helping a family acclimate to a new country, he believes that life is an act of creativity.
How does your creativity flow shift between all your different projects?
“My values of collaboration, convening and creativity are at the center of everything. I’ve always worked in collaboration whether as a composer writing music for dance and theatre, creative writing, or in the work I do. And convening, I love bringing people together. I often have people for dinner and organize salons to help make sense of the world. It is bridging like-minded people together. Creativity is the last pillar of that for me and it is imbued in everything that I do. Creativity isn't just when you're writing poetry, it's about how you live your life.”
How do you personally define creativity?
“Maybe it’s an approach to the world. Creativity is a mindset where you see everything as endless opportunities for creation and imagination. I think our culture doesn’t encourage people to play like when we were young. Children are always curious, sharing, understanding, trying things out, and playing. And somewhere along the line, we get told that we have to be good at something for it to be good. You don't. Fail creatively!”
So, how do you manage to not lose that sense of play and wonder?
“I’m pretty silly, always tweaking the nose of whatever I’m doing. And maybe it's a mindset. It’s the way I see the world. I see the world in abundance of endless opportunity. Lately, I've been feeling overwhelmed with all the terrible things happening in the world. I think one of the things that we can do is be creative and bring something beautiful into the world. Being creative is making a choice to be optimistic.”
Can you tell me about a time you used your creativity to overcome adversity?
“The pandemic was a hard time for everyone. My friend and I created a project called the Power of Portrait, and we put out a call to everyone to submit a photo and a story of how they were dealing with COVID-19. When all the businesses were boarded up downtown, we had this huge display of all the portraits that linked to their stories on the website. We wanted to create something that might capture the hearts and minds of people and inspire togetherness despite being a part. It was a beautiful display of collective creativity.”
What advice do you have for someone afraid to express their creative voice?
“First off, if people are feeling like they are not creative, ask yourself, “Where is that coming from?”. And be confident that you have something to say, something to add to this world. And then perhaps take a second to slow down and take a look at what you’re already doing. Reframe your thinking of what is creative. Whether that's cooking, arranging the pillows on your bed, or the way you dress; these are all creative acts.”

Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge
Lynn Canyon Park officially opened to the public in 1912 and has been a popular destination among tourists and local residents ever since. Lynn Canyon Park is a great location for a family picnic, a leisurely hike, or a refreshing swim in one of the many popular swimming holes.
Lynn Canyon Park has grown from 12 acres in its early years to 617 acres today. Lynn Canyon Park contains second-growth forest with most of the trees aged approximately 80 to 100 years old.
Lynn Canyon Park features a suspension bridge that sways 50 meters above the canyon. It was built privately in 1912 when the park opened. Lynn Canyon also offers a selection of walking and hiking trails that connect to other parks in the region such as Lynn Headwaters, Rice Lake, and Inter River Park. The ecology center in Lynn Valley has been a part of Lynn Canyon Park for many years and showcases some historical information about the park.

Is PTE accepted in Canada?
If you're a non-native English speaker planning to study in Canada, you may wonder what English language proficiency tests are accepted in the country. While the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is Canada's most commonly accepted English language test, another option is available: the Pearson Test of English (PTE). In this blog post, we'll look closely at PTE and explore whether it is accepted in Canada. Get your desired PTE scores with just a lick. For all your PTE related problems, visit: aiproficiencyhub.com
What is PTE?
PTE stands for Pearson Test of English. It is an English language proficiency test developed by Pearson Education to assess the English language skills of non-native English speakers. PTE is recognised by universities, colleges, and governments worldwide and is accepted for visa and immigration purposes in several countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Get free PTE exam papers
PTE is a computer-based test that measures a test taker's proficiency in four areas: speaking, writing, reading, and listening. The test assesses a test-takers ability to communicate effectively in English in academic and professional settings. PTE test scores are typically valid for up to two years after the test date.
Canada Accepts PTE
Are you looking to study in Canada? If so, you may have heard of the Pearson Test of English (PTE) and wondered if it is accepted by Canadian universities. The answer is yes, PTE Academic is one of the leading providers of English language proficiency tests accepted by most Canadian universities and colleges. It is the best option to help you obtain your acceptance letter from a designated learning institute in Canada. Nearly 90% of Canadian universities and colleges accept PTE today, making it the best option to receive your acceptance letter from many of the top Canadian universities.
The PTE test is the most standardized test in the world and is accepted by 90% of universities and the best colleges. In addition to being accepted by universities for student visas, it is also commonly considered as an input medium for many countries. However, please note that your qualification may not always be acceptable for a Canada PR visa. The PTE test is not considered a test of English proficiency for individuals and does not contribute to qualifying for Canadian permanent residency.
Therefore, it is essential to ask about your university's PTE testing policy before applying. Few universities in Canada, such as Algonquin College, Capilano University, Conestoga College, Georgian College and many more, accept PTE scores instead of IELTS. However, although the exam is improving by leaps and bounds, it is still a long way to go before it is accepted for public relations reasons in Canada. Due to COVID-19, employment in Canada had increased dramatically and many workers in the fields of food, retail and accommodation were laid off. While the PTE score is counted as a score of the English language proficiency test for obtaining the Canadian student visa, the minimum PTE score for the Canadian student visa is generally in the hands of the Canadian university you apply to. One important thing to keep in mind when applying for PR in Canada is that a PTE score for PR in Canada is not accepted, no matter how high your score is.
Canada needs candidates to take the IELTS general test in order to consider them eligible for immigration. Therefore, the best courses to study in Canada are those that result in jobs that are in high demand and those that are also well-paid. PTE Academic is one of the most convenient language proficiency tests that Indian students can take advantage of to obtain their study permit and study in Canada. University of Windsor and Regina, Humber University, Conestoga University, CDI University, University of Canada, University of St Michel, Alexander College and many more universities accept PTE. Confirm that you have the money ready to finance at least the first year of study and live in Canada. However, if you aspire to migrate to Canada or New Zealand, you can face the PTE exam that is valid in these countries. You can start the Canada immigration process with IELTS, because PTE is not acceptable in Canada for the PR visa. In conclusion, while PTE Academic is widely accepted by leading Canadian institutions and universities for entry into undergraduate and graduate programs in Canada, it cannot be used for a Canada PR visa.
Therefore, it's important to ask about your university's PTE testing policy before applying.
