Søren Pape Poulsen
Mayor of Viborg Municipality
T
hrough more than 20 years, Viborg Municipality has focused
on young people and creativity – not least creative educations.
In Viborg Municipality, we consider creativity and culture as
contributory factors when creating quality for the citizens in our
municipality but also as something that reaches beyond the boundaries
of the municipality.
One of the most creative environments, which is a result of this dedicated
effort, is The Animation Workshop which has become a trendsetting
centre for animation based on media production over the last years.
An educational institution which has grown from the experimental stage
into a professional age.
The Animation Workshop has succeeded in placing the young people’s
artistic talents in a market economic context. The school is surrounded
by an entrepreneurial environment which has emerged from the melting
pot of nationalities where both students and teachers are a mix of
national and international animators.
Therefore, we in Viborg are particularly proud of hosting CARTOON
FINANCE. It is an event that matches the strengths Viborg Municipality
possesses through our versatile and dynamic business community and
many creative businesses.
Thus, I would like to welcome all participants in this year’s conference
to Viborg and it is my hope that the conference delegates will find some
time in their schedules to experience some of Viborg’s wonderful nature,
authentic history and daily life.

Morten Thorning
General Director of The Animation Workshop
The Fine Art of Financing
T
he Animation Workshop today forms an international centre of
education, knowledge and development for animation and related
businesses. In the old military barracks of Viborg and side by side
with cultural and educational institutions we have created a diverse and
vibrant environment for creative and professional development.
Over the years of developing The Animation Workshop we have indeed
been strongly supported by the European MEDIA programme and
tremendously helped by the guiding light of the numerous CARTOON
organised events.
In our endless effort to match innovative creativity with rock solid skills
we strive to support, challenge and develop the artistic and commercial
aspects of animation and have recently established Arsenalet (The Arsenal);
a company cluster and incubation house for Danish and international
animation businesses. However, to fully benefit from the richness of
creativity and artistic skills in the European animation industry we depend
on the fine art of financing. Hosting this year’s Cartoon Finance is therefore
an important element in The Animation Workshop’s effort to strengthen
the European animation industry.
In the hope of an inspiring and enlightening conference we warmly
welcome participants and speakers to Cartoon Finance 2011.

Aviva Silver
Head of Unit of the MEDIA
Programme of the European
Commission
C
ontinuous training of professionals and talented individuals
is essential to reinforce the competitiveness of the European
audiovisual industry, a core objective of the MEDIA programme
of the European Union. That is why ever since its beginnings in 1990 the
MEDIA programme has devoted a substantial amount of its budget to cofinance training initiatives developed by professionals for professionals.
More than 2000 professionals coming from countries participating in
the MEDIA programme are trained every year through MEDIA funded
training initiatives where they have the opportunity to acquire new skills,
learn from others’ mistakes or successes; fine-tune their projects thanks to
experienced tutors; explore new technologies or expand their contact base.
For the last years, MEDIA has actively supported the CARTOON MASTERS as
they offer an adequate reply to European professionals’ needs of coherent
and extensive information in the fields of development, financing and
distribution of animation works be they TV series or animated features.
At Cartoon Finance, discussions will focus on how animation producers
can better finance their shows, cut on costs and develop brands and
intellectual properties in order to increase their revenue streams. New
licensing and merchandising partnerships with toy manufacturers, home
entertainment companies will be commented upon and the new MEDIA
Production Guarantee Fund will also be explained.
In this year of 20 years’ anniversary of MEDIA, we join our Danish host
and the Cartoon Masters organisers to wish you luck in your new
collaborations.
