Fourth Year Animation, Week 6: Three Events on Wednesday

This Wednesday's Lecture is a little unusual because it is broken into two separate hour long events. We also have our usual Wednesday Workshop. Read on for details.

11 am to noon - Screen your Workflow shot on the Christie Projector
The first hour will be dedicated to an informal work screening of your Workflow shots on the Christie Projector in S235.

As you probably know, this projector is an $80,000 industrial monster and  it is a real privilege to be able to screen work on it. It is an excellent way to test the colour and brightness of your film image. And because it's the same system that will be used on Industry Day you can be sure that you'll be seeing exactly what our Industry guests will see on that day.

To screen your workflow shots (or any other finished/painted background or animation), send me the material by email (degazio@sheridancollege.ca)  before 9 am Wednesday morning. I'll compile the material and display it on the Christie Projector from my laptop.



Noon to 12:50 - Spooky Squid Games, Miguel Sternberg
Following the work screening, our guest of the day is Miguel Sternberg of Spooky Squid Games, an independent computer game entrepreneur from Toronto. Miguel will be offering us his insights into the Indie Game industry and what it's like to make a career there.


Special Surprise -  Academy Award screeners!
As you might know, Professor Nancy Beiman, as a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, receives screening DVDs of the nominees for the year's Academy Award for Best Short Animated Film.  If they arrive from Los Angeles before Wednesday, we'll screen as many of these as time allows.  Cross your fingers!


2 pm to 4 pm - Flash Q&A with Amir Avni

After Miguel's talk there will be a workshop with Pipeline animator and Sheridan alum Amir Avni, who has become quite an expert in Flash since his graduation a few years ago. Amir has generously offered to host this Q&A session on Flash, with the intention of helping you through any software problems you might be encountering as you carry out your animation in Flash. Bring your Flash problem to A150 and let Amir try to figure it out!
