Final Senior Project Film Screening Tomorrow!

MILESTONE 5
THE SCREENING

As I'm sure you know, tomorrow at 10 AM is the fourth and final class screening of the Senior Film Project Course.  This screening is the culmination of an entire year's work, so please take it seriously - which is not to say you shouldn't enjoy it as well! We have a really outstanding crop of films this year and the screening will be a lot of fun.

A few of you have contacted me because you inadvertantly submitted your film file into the "Milestone" Handin folder than the "Screening" Handin. Fortunately, Mario anticipated this and assembled the screening reel from BOTH folders, so don't worry about being left out.

Please be aware that as there has been a good deal of interest in your films from my third year classes, I've told them that it's OK for them to attend the screening, on the condition that if seating in S235 is tight they must DEFER THEIR SEAT to any 4th Year Student looking for one.

Please note that due to the length of the screening, there is no workshop planned for tomorrow.

THE PORTFOLIO 

Your film is only a part, though an important one, of your Graduating Portfolio, which is assembled in Milestone 6. Complete details are given in the Student Handbook, available here.  In brief, this portfolio is a demonstration of all the important Animation skills you have acquired during your years  in the Sheridan BAA.

The main components of the Portfolio are Artwork (including such things as Layout,Character Design and Concept Art), a Demo Reel, your Film, and a Resume. Digital versions are acceptable (preferred actually.)

THE PROMO PACK
Last but not least, Milestone 6 includes a requirement for a Promotional Package for your film. This item is meant to facilitate your first step into the world of film festivals, broadcast and online distribution. Again, details are given in the Student Handbook.  This sort of thing is probably new to most of you, so talk to your Mentor about it, and keep an eye on your email as I will be posting a few examples of Promo Pack materials in the next day or two.
