WEEK 14 - ANIMATIC SCREENING WILL BEGIN AT 10 AM WEDNESDAY IN S235

Mario has now had a chance to total the running time of the animatic screening submissions, so we will begin our screening at 10 am on Wednesday morning, in SCAET 235.

Note that the presentation order is randomized and will be different from the order of the Leica Reel screening in October.

Due to the length of the screening there will be no workshop this Wednesday. Workshops will resume next semester on Wednesday, January 14 with "Advanced Colour Design" by Mike Hitchcox.

ANIMATIC SCREENING FOLDER NOW AVAILABLE

Just got this in from Mario Positano. The HANDIN folder for next week's Animatic Screening is now available on  the HANDIN server.

The folder is entitled: LeicaReel_DueDecember8_8am

Don't be confused by the phrase "Leica Reel" in the name; it's the correct folder for the Animatic Screening (note the deadline date embedded in the folder name.)

It's located in G drive, 4thYear_SCREENING folder.

Many of you know Tony Tosti from the 3rd Year Sound Design course. Tony is with us this week to help you with two aspects of the sound design for your film.

The first is the Wednesday Lecture, at the usual time, 11 am. Tony Tosti will give a talk entitled "Collaborating with Your Composer." He'll attempt to walk with you through the process of effectively communicating your musical intentions for your film to your composer, avoiding the common pitfalls and misunderstandings.
