My Week Again:
Annie season is full upon us and the times they are a shorter. It is about time that another studio sends out a screener or 2 just to keep my spirits up. Hint, hint.
So this week in not quite as insane as my last week`s schedule. Monday night introduce stylized animation and UPA for my Cal State Fullerton class. Showed Dover Boys and then showed the slow-motion smear animation section from Chuck Jones Extremes and Inbetweens. (great DVD) Straight on to Baby Weems and Hell Bent for Election. Then I got out the Hellboy DVD and showed some McBoing Boings and The Telltale Heart, followed by Rooty Toot Toot. (I know it is a little backwards but I wanted to end with Faith and John and some of their shorts, which is how I ended the class)
Tuesday morning it was Woodbury for a lesson on pre-clay build up on armatures and how to paint beads to be eyes. Closely followed by helping Nancy (my stop motion student) plan a pre-production schedule.
Yesterday was spent in last minute planning of the Annie Judging event for this weekend, reviewing Gaming submissions, returning calls and getting my book order together for my spring class at Laguna College of Art & Design. Touched base on an animation preservation project (Mar - Oswald) I have been working on that is finally starting to come together. Oh, and rebuilding my laptop that finally came back from the shop.
Today is Brooks College and mid-term presentations from my pre-production class. Followed by a guest speaker, Aki Umemoto, who will let the students know that there are animation jobs outside features and TV. Something students never seem to be able to see for themselves.
Tonight is the Toon Saloon in Chatworth (see below) with the Chiodo Bros. and Animation Magazine but I am going to have to pass on that one or my week will be just like last week and I don`t think I can pull off 2 in a row.
Friday is mid-term portfolio review for my internship class at Brooks.
Saturday in Annie Judging.
Sunday I need to get my grades together for Brooks and write a test for Cal State Fullerton.
You know 9 to 5 pays better and isn`t as much work. What and give up my life in show business?
