Old Tricks, New Dog:
Another day, another new semester, the big problem with teaching at 3 or 4 different schools is that none of the semesters match up. I am on week 7 of 15 at Fullerton and week 1 of 11 at Brooks.
Taught a preproduction class this morning. Basically the students need to do all the preproduction work, storyboards, character designs, script, production and prop design needed to do a 1 minute, 1 and a half minute animation.
I had a student come up with a killer take on Peter Pan today. Brilliant idea, one of those ideas that you have to fight yourself not to steal. The next 10 weeks I get to follow this idea as this student takes it through every step of the development process.
If you really want to understand the process, teach it. The good teacher always learns more than the students. Just don`t tell on us or they will pay us even less. ¶ 12:44 PM
