We are not very much concerned about financial issues, we are rather looking for passionate and talented young people.</span></p>

Thesis students get some extra sound design in their thesis film and I would have something to demonstrate my sound for animation skills. With the upcoming semester moving online, some students may or may not have access to their regular tools, especially for audio. With that said, I would love to help where there is a need for sound design as I have my own home studio.</span></p>

This screening is CENTRAL to the production workflow.</p><p style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18px; padding-left: 30px;"><strong>5) GUEST CRITIQUE </strong>- During Week 7's Mentor Group Meeting, a guest, normally from the animation industry, will be present to view and critique your Leica Reel.

The first step of this process happens this Fall (normally in Week 10 or 11) when we travel to U of T for a "Meet and Greet" session.</p><p style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18px; padding-left: 30px;"><strong>7) VISITS FROM MAJOR STUDIOS</strong></p><p style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18px; padding-left: 30px;">Studio visits through the fall are possible.

It should give you an idea of the overall workflow we use in the 4th Year Senior Project films. I'll show this video at the lecture and we'll have some time to discuss what it means for you.

Hi Bruno,<br />
<br />
My name is Joel Santos, and I've been chatting quite a bit with Zhang Xun and a few other students about getting connected with Sheridan about scoring some of the student films and Theses. Zhang Xun suggested that I reach out to you to see if you might forward my information to those currently working on their thesis, or those who might be starting the process for next year. Or for anyone who might interested at all!<br />
<br />
Here's a bit about me:<br />
<br />
Most recently, I wrapped up scoring an official Fox Produced short for the Alien Franchise in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the franchise. I am incredibly proud of the music I wrote for it, which I got to record and conduct at Warner Brother's Eastwood Scoring Stage.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://youtu.be/ApNPbQxMFtk" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ApNPbQxMFtk</a><br />
<br />
Currently, I'm working on the music teams for several upcoming Star Wars video games. In addition to that, I've worked on the music teams for How To Train Your Dragon: Homecoming, Fortnite, My Spy, and Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween. I frequently work with composer Benjamin Wallfisch (Shazam, It, Blade Runner 2049, Hidden Figures, Dunkirk) at Hans Zimmer's studio.<br />
<br />
In the past, I worked for composer Bear McCreary on Agents of Shield, the Walking Dead, Outlander, and God of War (2018). Below, you can find the link to my website, which is a little outdated, but has a bit more about me, as well as to links of some music:<br />

<br />
<a href="http://imdb.me/joelsantos" target="_blank">imdb.me/joelsantos</a><br />
<br />
I have been wanting to work on more and more animation under my own name recently, and I figured the best way to go about that, would be to connect with some students. I love all of the work that I have seen come out of Sheridan.<br />
<br />
Thank you for taking the time to read and listen, and I hope to hear from you soon!<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
<br />
Joel Santos<br />

<a href="https://sheridan4thyear.blogspot.com/p/fall-2019-lectures-workshops.html" target="_blank"><b>1) The Lecture Series</b>, which takes place on Wednesdays at 2 PM in J102</a><br />
<a href="https://sheridan4thyear.blogspot.com/p/fall-2019-lectures-workshops.html" target="_blank"><b>2) The Workshop Series</b> - optional, Wednesdays at 4 pm, in Lab A151</a><br />
<b>3) Mentor Group Meetings </b>- various times through the week, mostly in A360A, B and C<br />
<br />
In addition there are several highlights to the semester:<br />
<br />
<b>4) SCREENINGS</b> - All film works-in-progress are screened this semester at the Leica Reel screening in Week. This screening is CENTRAL to the production workflow and is therefore required of all students.<br />
<br />
<b>5) GUEST CRITIQUE</b> - During Week 7's Mentor Group Meeting, a guest, normally from the animation industry, will be present to view and critique your Leica Reel. This is a valuable opportunity to have an experienced pair of eyes view your film - make the most of it!<br />
<br />
<b>6) UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO "Composing For Film" CLASS VISIT - </b>Each year about 40-50 animation students work with musicians from the U of T Faculty of Music to have music written specially for their films. The first step of this process happens this Fall (normally in Week 10 or 11) when we travel to U of T for a "Meet and Greet" session.<br />
<br />
<b>7) VISITS FROM MAJOR STUDIOS</b><br />
Monday of Week 5 is already slated for a visit from our friends at Disney. Other studio visits through the fall are possible. More details TBA.<br />
<br />
<br />

<h3>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Milestones</span></b></h3>
<div>
Grading for this course is determined by meeting the Milestone requirements as laid out in the 4th Year Handbook (link below - see especially the section titled, "<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/e2ibp43bpt7mbho/StudentHandbook_2019-20.Semester_7_Milestones.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">Part 2 - SEMESTER 7 MILESTONES</a>".) You'll get a very good idea of where you're going with your film project over the next few months by browsing through this document. More details at the lecture:<br />

<h2>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">What workflow do we use? </span></b></h2>
You might enjoy watching the video below. It's a compilation of several films from recent graduating students, shown in four stages of development, from Leica Reel to Final Film. It should give you an idea of the overall workflow we use in the 4th Year Senior Project films. I'll show this video at the lecture and we'll have some time to discuss what it means for you.<br />

<br />
Tomorrow is the day for our one-on-one meetings (Spotting Sessions) between 4th Year animators and the various young composers. <br />
<br />
We will first meet as usual at 2 PM in J102 for brief introductions, then move to the 4th Year Studio (A361) for one-on-one meetings until 4 pm.<br />
<br />
Have your film ready to show in an easily playable form such as a video file. It should have an up-to-date picture, including the workflow shot, and a scratch track. Bring headphones!<br />
<br />
If you are not participating in the composer-animator partnerships, please allow others to use the workstations in A361 during this time tomorrow afternoon.<br />
<br />
The "Spotting Session" is an important meeting between film-maker and composer where the music for the film is discussed in detail, on a shot-by-shot basis. Here is a quick summary of the main procedures and purposes of a Spotting Session:<br />
<br />
<b>1. View the Film</b><br />
- Leica-Reel, Pose-Reel, or Rough-cut.<br />
- include your temp music, sound fx, scratch voices<br />
- decide where music is needed, what style, mood, instruments, accents, etc.<br />
- make a sequential list of music cues (M1, M2, M3, etc.) with starting times!<br />
<br />
<b>2. Try Out New Musical Ideas</b><br />
- play recordings with the picture! It's extremely important to hear the music while looking at your pciture.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Wait for the new Score</b><br />
- discuss delivery dates, file formats & other tech<br />
<br />
<b>PARTNERSHIPS</b><br />
This is also the last chance to sort out any partnership issues. To help with this, the current list of partnerships is as follows:<br />
<br />
<b>University of Toronto Film Class 2018-19</b><br />

<b>THE LECTURE - Wednesday 2 PM, J102 </b></h2>
<h2>
<i>The Lifestyle of the Freelance Animator </i></h2>
<h2>
and<i> </i></h2>
<h2>
<i>Distribution and Exhibition for Short Animated Films</i></h2>
<h3>
Guest Speakers, James Caswell and Chris Walsh, Sheridan College</h3>
<br />
The Lecture is the first in our <b>Business of Animation</b> topic, with <b>James Caswell</b> and <b>Chris Walsh </b>offering complementary perspectives on life in animation. <br />
<br />
Jim will present <i><b>The Lifestyle of the Freelance Animator</b>, </i> covering questions endemic to young people starting out in the animation business such as, "How much should I charge?" , "How do I manage my taxes?" and also touching on issues of intellectual property.<br />
<br />
Chris gives an alternative viewpoint, <i><b>Get your films out into the world, </b></i> which opens up the discussion to issues of artistry vs. industry and ways to distribute your creative work.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<h2>
<b>THE WORKSHOP - Wednesday 4 PM, 4th Year Studio </b></h2>
<h2>
<i>Workflow: Making Your Software Work Together</i></h2>
<h3>
The workshop will be led by <b>David Huyn, </b>Technical Director at Nelvana.</h3>
<br />
David brings a wealth of technical experience in Toonboom Harmony, Maya and other production software. If you're hitting a dead-end on a software problem, come to this workshop to pick David's brain for a possible solution. This workshop is especially valuable with the coming deadline for Milestone 2- Scene Workflow Test, and the requirement for Maya and Toonboom projects to be fully rigged and ready for animation.<br />
<br />
David says: <i>"I've been in the industry for almost 9 years. I started working for a small company working on a <b>mobile app</b> for about a year before starting at Nelvana as a general <b>Technical Director</b> (TD). </i><i>I've also taught at <b>Max The Mutt</b> for a few years as the final forth year instructor for 3D animation in Maya. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>My role at <b>Nelvana</b> was always changing because being a generalist meant I was flexible and I filled roles such as a <b>modelling, rigging, minor animation, compositing, FX R&D and team lead, front end pipeline tool development</b>. These roles covered both <b>3D Maya productions</b> as well as <b>2D Harmony productions</b> where I've been the supervising TD. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>With the experiences I've come to have within the studio, I've also been requested to serve as a recruiter at school's industry nights. "</i><br />

<span style="color: #f3f3f3; letter-spacing: 0px;">- take Go Train from Oakville station to Union Station</span><br />

<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-size: medium;"><b>QUESTION: Is there still a lecture and workshop? </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">No. The lecture and workshop will resume at their normal times next week. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b><br /></b><b><br /></b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">QUESTION: If the music provided to me doesn't work, do I still have to use it in my film? </span></b><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>ANSWER:</b> No. As film-maker and director, such decisions are ultimately your responsibility. If the music doesn't work out you can revert to your temp music or find other licensable music to use.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">However, you are still obligated to provide your student partner with a finished copy of your film using their music, for their own personal use in a demo reel.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b><br /></b><b><br /></b><b>QUESTION: What should I bring to U of T? </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>ANSWER:</b> The most important thing to bring is an up-to-date copy of your Leica Reel. Stick to easily playable formats such as Quicktime and avi. Or bring a copy on your cellphone, tablet or laptop. This is important because the 2nd part of the Meet & Greet involves you attempting to enlist the involvement of your selected musicians by showing them your film. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">It would also be good to bring a notepad or tablet to take notes regarding the various musicians as they play their music.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">QUESTION: Can I partner with several student composers and choose the best music? </span></b><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b><br />ANSWER: </b>Due to the big imbalance in our numbers (55-60 animators, 15-20 composers) it is not possible to partner with more than one composer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>QUESTION: Do I have to work with a composer? </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">No, this is completely optional for Sheridan students. (However, the U of T students are required to score at least one film in order to pass their course.)</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">QUESTION: What Happens after the Meet & Greet? </span></b><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>ANSWER: </b><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The first and most important thing is for you to secure a commitment from your chosen composer. Stay in touch via email, SMS, Facebook or whatever and make sure both you and they understand the nature of the commitment, which will follow this timeline next semester: </span></span><br />

<br />
<b>Screening part 1: Groups A-E - </b><b>J102, Wednesday, 2-4 PM</b><br />
<div>
<b>Screening part 2: Groups F-O - </b><b>J102, Friday, 1- 4 PM ; NOTE EXTRA TIME! </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Even though we have had to break the screening into two parts for practical reasons, you should plan to attend both sessions. A few of you have a schedule conflict with the Friday screening; if you emailed me about it in advance of the Hand-in deadline your film will screen in the Monday session, regardless of Mentor Group.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You will be able to give written comments on your classmate's films, which will afterwards be distributed to all students. Please be <b>fair, honest and supportive</b> in your comments. Make sure to bring a pen to the screening!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Milestone 5 - </b><b>This is the first Milestone where the requirements differ depending on the medium you are working in. </b></div>
