It’s been a while since we’ve had a new print magazine about animation in the United States, but this month, a glossy new animation quarterly launched in Los Angeles.
It’s called Keyframe, and it’s a publication geared towards the 4,000 plus-strong members of the Los Angeles animation union, The Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839.
As the editor’s letter makes clear, The Animation Guild (TAG) is a little late to the magazine game. The unions that represent Hollywood directors, writers, art directors, film editors, sound engineers, make-up artists, and costume designers each have had their own publications for years – and most of those organizations have far fewer members than TAG.
