Big Week Ahead! - Senior Animation Project Week 7

A big week is ahead of us as we get our Leica Reels ready for the screening in Week 8.

GUEST CRITIQUE

This week every Mentor Group will have a special guest who has been invited to view and critique your Leica reel. This will take place during your usual Mentor Group meeting time (or by special arrangement, at another time; stay in touch with your Mentor for details.)  This event is an important step in the development of your film; be sure to take advantage of it. Note that participation in this event is required and a penalty may be applied to your grade for non-participation.

LECTURE - Maury's Production Planner and a visit from Tinman Creative Studios

The lecture this week offers two highlights.  Firstly, mentor Maury Whyte will demonstrate and distribute an updated version of his Excel "Production Planning Worksheet", a valuable tool for organizing  and scheduling your production. (Many mentors will also accept the worksheet in lieu of some of the production forms for Milestone 5- Production Plan: Asset Estimate, Shot Breakdown, Production Schedule. Talk to your mentor for details.)

Secondly we look forward to a visit from Tinman Creative Studios, specifically creative director Brett Jubinville and a recent Sheridan graduate (TBA) who has recently been working at Tinman. They will discuss, among other things, the challenges of production planning in a creative environment, and the transition from Sheridan Animation to the "real world" of Web and TV animation production.  For more information about Tinman Creative Studios, go to tinman.tv

WORKSHOP - postponed to October 27

Due to scheduling complications related to the Monday holiday there will be no workshop this week. The planned workshop - ZBrush Tutorial with Florian Jacot - will instead take place on Monday October 27 in A151.
