Joint Initiatives

Nick Shorts

Overview

FTI, ScreenWest and Nickelodeon are proud to partner to provide up to six teams the opportunity to produce innovative animated short films for first run broadcast on Nickelodeon Australia.

Nick Shorts will provide an opportunity to showcase original work produced by Western Australian animators on a National level on a range of Nickelodeon’s platforms (including Nick TV, Turbo Nick and Mobile). This initiative will help develop the skills of local animators and provide them with the possibility of developing concepts which if successful may be considered for further development by Nickelodeon International.

Under the thematic heading ‘Nick Shorts’, this initiative invites Western Australian individual or animator teams to produce 1 to 3 minute animations that must be suitable to be broadcast as a ‘stand alone’ product but has enough character(s) and thematic appeal that has the potential to be developed into a long-form animation series with international appeal. The finished product must be suitable for a Nickelodeon audience and be eligible for a G classification.

APPLICATIONS FOR NICK SHORTS ARE NOW CLOSED.
