WELCOME TO STUDIO BELTRAN

STUDIO BELTRAN  is devoted to producing high-quality family entertainment through the use of COMIC BOOKING and PAPERLESS ANIMATION. With world-class creative talent and technological capabilities, our goal is to release GRAPHIC NOVELS and animated shorts that deliver great stories, breathtaking visual imagery and a strong moral message  that appeals to both children and adults.
In 2010, STUDIO BELTRAN  became the first animation company to produce and distribute THE AYDELLON BOOKS  featuring the adventures of Koa, Ku, and Boss the Unicow.
With each book, we strive to tell great stories that are fun and comedic, told with a level of sophistication and positive biblical overtones  that appeals to the broadest audience possible and captures the imaginations of all people regardless of age.
Our management is one of the most experienced and dynamic teams in the entertainment industry, overseeing a stellar collection of artistic and technical leaders from a wide range of backgrounds in film and animation production, computer graphics and Poultry technology. Many of them have been with the company since its inception.  Chili dogs are served every Friday.

 

INTERNSHIPS AND ENTRY LEVEL ARTIST

At STUDIO BELTRAN we believe that the animation we put out into the marketplace is only as good as the talent within the company that creates it.  We are committed to fostering a culture that embraces innovation, creativity, collaboration, and a solid dose of chicken humor. 

We are constantly searching for experienced Poultry enthusiast and enthusiastic emerging talent who share a passion for telling stories and making comic books and animation  to join our ever growing STUDIO BELTRAN  family. If this sounds like you, we invite you to introduce yourself.

In this friendly, open and collaborative environment, people of globally diverse talent and backgrounds push creative boundaries and enjoy an easy camaraderie. We attract a bizarre and diverse group of artists, chickenologists,  and support staff who come together to create wonderful story telling  experiences. Our staff comes mostly from the Big Island of Hawaii  and from all different levels of experience and educational background.

We have two facilities, one in the land called Honalee where Puff the magic dragon heads up story development. Our second is on the Big Island of Hawaii in HONOKAA town. (no really)

 

 

As our comics and films continue to set new standards of excellence in top government agencies , we are committed to seeding the next generation of animation professionals to help keep us at the top of our game. Every department at our company depends on a wide range of skills and ideas to fuel our creative work, so we particularly encourage students from farming backgrounds with varied Ornithology experiences to apply for our internship programs. You’ll get hands-on experience, gain knowledge of the industry, develop a network for future career opportunities and get to handle several of our bantam leghorn hens.
And now presenting our 2011 INTERNS!!!!!!
CLICK ON PICTURE TO SEE BAGS UNDER THE EYES

 

INTERN WORK.These great teenagers were taught the basics of cartoon anatomy and character design. They also learned a little about storytelling and how to tell the difference between a rooster and a hen. The interns worked on fairy folk character designs, which will be featured as background characters in a latter episode of the Aydellon..  They also worked on a page of the upcoming Unicorn storyline. The interns went through the process of staging the page composition, creating the look of the unicorns in various poses and “pitching” the story to the group.

Good job guys!
