Week 12 - Finished Film due; Get Ready For Industry Day; After Effects Q&A

As usual we have a really busy week in BA Animation.

Milestone 5 is probably the biggest event this week. That means that your finished film is due to your Mentor for grading purposes. Talk to your mentor about exact date & time s/he is expecting it.

We have several events happening during the Wednesday lecture, starting with Chris Walsh's talk on Festival and Distribution Options for Independent Filmmakers. 

Following Chris, Tony Tarantini will give you some important information to Prepare Yourselves for Industry Day. 

That will lead into the annual Industry Day Desk Assignment. This is your chance to choose a good location in the Learning Commons area, where our Industry Day guests will meet with you after the screening. (My advice: pick a desk near the food!)

If there's any time left after all of this, we'll continue our screening of the 2014 Oscar Nominees for Animated Short Film with Possessions  by Japanese animator Shuhei Morita.

The Wednesday workshop is host to Adobe Systems' Colin Smith, resident expert on After Effects & Premiere Pro.  Is After Effects driving you nuts? Is Premiere just not behaving itself? Bring your problems to A150 to challenge Colin. He's pretty clever at coming up with solutions. Just once though I'd like to see him stumped. Let's see if we can do it. Wednesday , 2-4 pm, A150.
