Saturday Update, the Annies, Volunteer Meeting, Krazy Kat:
Here we are on the weekend. Things are moving quickly in the headlong rush to the Annie Awards. Just scored a number on talented camera-men for the Annie video archive shoot. Have to call Ed Gonzalez today and start working out details.
Last night was the juried awards, the June Foray, Ub Iwerks, Winsor McCay awards. I personally am quite pleased with the group of people we will be honoring this year but of course I can not release those name just yet.
My Gaming and TV Production judges are all in line and I have the meeting for the Gaming judging all lined up.
In my last entry, blow, I included a question from an animation history test. The answer is the Flintstones, the first U.S. prime time television animation. Designing a test is a lot harder than most people think.
This question is one I no longer use. The problem with this question is that the student tends to not really read the question. They tend to skip the prime time part of the question and answer what is the first made for television animation. Which of course is Crusader Rabbit. I want to test knowledge of subject and how well I am getting that knowledge across to the students, not reading comprehension. Therefore that question is out.
This Wednesday, October 26th, is the ASIFA-Hollywood membership volunteer meeting. 7 PM at the Animation Center in Burbank. 2114 W. Burbank Blvd. Exciting things are happening with the Archive and this will be the first volunteer meeting dealing with Annie Volunteers. So make sure to make it to this meeting.
A week from today, October 29th, is Jarry Beck`s AFI screening of the Charles Mintz Krazy Kats. Don`t miss these. They are impossible to see anywhere. I would not miss this one for anything short of a major emergency impacting the universe as we know it. ¶ 8:52 AM
