4th Year Winter Semester - Welcome Back

4TH YEAR WINTER SEMESTER OVERVIEW

The winter term is devoted to your film’s development, but this semester’s secondary purpose is to prepare you for the “real world”. Thus, lectures and workshops will address not only production issues, but also concerns such as small business management, legal considerations for artists, development insights for animation projects, and panel discussions with recent grads to gain perspectives into what lies ahead, once you’re done school.

As with the Fall semester, there are 3 main components.

1. LECTURES - Wed. 11-1, SCAET theatre
- production issues, and a range of “real world” topics

2. WORKSHOPS - Wed., 2-4, A150 and/or A151
- production issues, and a range of “real world” topics

3. MENTOR MEETINGS - various rooms and times
- to support production



Academic Advisor and Course Lead:
Bruno Degazio
Academic Advising Hours:
Tuesday, 3-4, Thursday 12-2, or by appointment

4TH YEAR COURSE HANDBOOK - WINTER SEMESTER

The handbook is available as a hard copy for each student, and on this link. This handbook is ESSENTIAL for you this year. All of your Milestone assignments are found there, and all master tech. spec. info as well.

As revealed by this outline, 4th year classes are largely made up of guest presentations. For that reason the schedule will change, to allow us to include guests that become suddenly available, or that are only in town for a brief time. The schedule may also change in response to production needs of the students.

Milestone due dates are stated below, but refer to the 4th yr course handbook for ALL specifics of milestones. Obviously, your mentor will also clarify what he/she expects of you, in terms of assignments.

It’s safe to assume each week’s lecture will also include general updates for 4th year in terms of academics and production, even if not noted in the outline below. Hence, if you don’t attend lectures, you won’t be up on the latest info (and your marks and film will suffer).
