As stated previously, I am wanting to contact a variety of different Flash Animators and ask them a variety of different questions depending on their current animation situations. I do not expect a reply from all of the people I make contact in, as I have currently accumulated roughly 40 different flash animators who I could contact, these include: Pearl Zhang, Max Gilardi, Harry Partridge, Paul Ter Voorde, Chris O'Neill, Anthony Price, Jonathan Gran, Arin Hansen, Josh Palmer and Yotam Perel to name a few (The user icons for each of these animators are located around this page in the order written).
Many animators who use the Internet as their platform for animation often use alias', this could be for a variety of reasons; to make them stand out more, to hide their identity, or maybe even to separate their online life to their personal life. However, because of this it makes it difficult to actually make contact with these people, as they usually don't want to be bombarded with spam emails or fans of their work.
I hope that out of the 40 contacts I have collected, atleast 10 reply, as I want to be able to compare the answers to one and other and see if there are any patterns before I delve into the essay. I am still figuring out what questions would aid me throughout this project, as well as the overall question to put them under.
I will contact these animators in a variety of ways, if I can get their email address' then this will be the main way I will contact them, however I will also send them messages through Tumblr, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook asking if I would be able to send them a brief questionnaire.
