ASSIGNMENT FOR OCTOBER 27TH!

A.  Look for and put together a list of ALL of the sound effects, dialogue, and music you need!

1. I need a clear, easy to read list. Make it long, make it thorough, and make it detailed!
2. Make time next week to acquire sounds in class! BRING ANY MATERIALS YOU NEED TO RECORD SOUNDS!  Via the internet, via recording, and via vocals! I repeat: bring to class what you need to record! If people are unavailable, get sound effects necessary! Do the leg work so your sounds will be completed!
• Below is a list of references for obtaining sounds!
• Google search: 
• creative commons license (KNOW WHAT THIS IS BY NEXT CLASS. I WILL CHECK YOUR KNOWLEDGE FOR A GRADE!)
• Search for:
• creative commons sound effects
• creative commons music
• royalty free sound effects
• royalty free music
• royalty free/creative commons utilities for animation.
3. some simple websites to get you started:

• freesound.org
• incompetech.com
• soundcloud.com
• newgrounds.com

***Also look through logic pro and garage band on our computers at school!

Those of you that made scratch tracks with dialogue, get the rest of your sounds and music in! Make lists of the KIND OF SOUNDS you need!

B.  BY THURSDAY: I NEED A NEW SCHEDULE FROM ALL OF YOU! EMAIL YOUR NEW SCHEDULE, TYPED, TO ME!

This schedule must have time made for your film. Be realistic, but also be diligent! I need you to email me questions concerning getting the majority of your line art completed in the next two weeks! What I don't want to see is a minimal amount of work completed between this week and the next! Tell me in your schedule what will be accomplished, and how it will be completed. You are free to start working before thursday. I will email you if what you plan to accomplish is far too little.

Take a look at the flow of class and plan enough time to get everything done!  You will have the next two weeks to do line art, but you do not want to spend next week doing a minimal amount of work!

*include updates on the speed of your drawing. Let me know in numbers how long it takes to 

Sketch a frame,

do line art for a frame.

Clean your line art.

We need to get to the point where we can do a completed frame of animation in a couple minutes, divided by 30 seconds(sketches), 1 minute(lineart), and 30 seconds(cleanup).

1:30 of animation = 90x24 = 2160 drawings.

On 2’s:  2160/2 = 1080 drawings.

1080 drawings x 2 minutes = 2160 minutes.

2160 / 60 minutes = 36 hours of time.

Roughly 1 work week = 1:30 of drawn frames. This is a good speed to work up to, especially considering you're not drawing every drawing of your animation on 2's!

C.  BEGIN INTERNSHIP RESEARCH!

Do research, and bring to me a catalog of at least 14 places you are interested in applying to for potential internships.  Research who they are, and make a list. The division is the following:

1. 3 Big Ones outside of the city. (High-profile, "glass ceiling" places you have always wanted to intern for.)
2. 3 Local Ones Here.
3. (I said 5 in class, meant 4.) 8 Others that you are interested in applying to, from anywhere, that you can get something rewarding out of.

You need to have with you, not only the job's name, but the job's duties, requirements, and what you need to do to apply. You need to know all of this.  As a word of advice, get yourself a folder or binder, and print out each of these to bring to class.
