Pitching my student film

Today, I have a meeting with the Head of the Animation Department at my university to discuss what I want to do for my film. I have several ideas that I want to pitch to him. Hopefully, the idea that we settle on will be challenging but not overwhelming.

I'm currently working on a turnaround for my original character Pankeikei, a Brazillian adventurous toddler!

 

A New day

It's a new year! New projects and new adventures. I have a complete ideas to draw out for the start. I'm very excited for what will come of the new year!

It’s the start of the Fall semester for me. According to my class units calculations I have about 25 to 29 units left til’ graduation. This means I could walk in the graduation for the Spring 2012 the finish in the Fall of 2012 with 1 class.

Summer was VERY  productive: Summer School, Internship, Illustration job. All well done by the way. I took the bus to most places, and realized that bus isn’t too bad, but every once in a while, it gets annoying that buses only come around twice every hour. 

This fall I’m taking four, FOUR, studio Art class. An unholy combination of classes, so I am told. Professors and students both warn that a semester of 4 studio art classes is social suicide and mentally taxing.  Looking over all of my syllabuses it is definitely a lot of work. But all 3 class have similar styles in work. Progressive work, small projects that add to one final project…with a few side in-class projects along the way. It looks challenging, but with some fancy time management it can be DONE. I think this means going to school on the weekend and devoting 12 hours on Saturday to 2 classes and Sunday another 12 hours to the other 2 classes.

One side says “Drop one of the studios and move it to next semester, you’ll have more time to focus on your work and do a better job”

The another side says “ Keep this schedule, and push through. Your next semester schedule will allow you more time to work on your senior project. Possibly allowing you to be undistracted by other classes.”

I could drop or I could stay either way I could handle the situation. It will all depend on the syllabus for Animation 3, the time and effort for Animation 3 is doubled since, I received a brief training on animation from the semester. The thing to remember for me  is to not push myself down just because I see a better artist that impress the teacher. One day, I will be just as impressive….One Day…
