Suprises for You! Check your email!

Happy Spring Break! =D

You may have noticed that I didn't update Friday.  Is it possible that it was to give you time to spread out before posting details of your assignment? Am I replicating the time delay for an actual studio?  Oh snap! Maximum swerve!!!

Check your MCA email address.  Your mission is a low maintenance, yet challenging task that you can complete anywhere (as long as you have a method of contact and some access to a computer.) It looks like a lot, but part of it is more long-term. Read and you will understand.  It is preparation for communicating with studios and partnerships from all over the world and beginning to think and come together as a team. There are secrets in there that are important for you.

MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU NEED THAT YOU DON'T HAVE YET.

Read your respective emails, and bring to me what you need by your first day back to class. For those of you who listened last Wednesday, and remember what I said your project was, it has not changed. Details are in the email.

As a note: Here is the link for the personal learning edition of Toon Boom Animate Pro.  Everything else is in your email. Seriously. Read it.  Seriously. You won't be disappointed.

Note: DO NOT STRESS OVER THIS ASSIGNMENT.  Enjoy your Spring Break, because you need it! But DO complete this.  We will be in Studio-Mode once you get back, and there will be a zero-tolerance policy with finishing missions later that their "Time of Arrival (ToA)".

Regardless of your grade, everyone has the potential to pull an A in this class. The special little something in your email is the beginning of it all.  You'll see.  On your first day back, you will start animation production.  We are jumping right in.  Email me if you have any questions! =)

As an added bonus, I know i've provided a lot of American Resources this semester. I just found a Making of for a Kickstarter Anime, produced by Studio Trigger. One of the most important people to remember from said studio is Hiroyuki Imaishi, who is responsible for clips from Evangelion, the Lupin Movies, FLCL, Gurren Lagann (Director), Panty and Stocking, Little Witch Academia, and most recently, Kill La Kill.  Google search them if you're interested. All of them are considered staples of the best animation the east has to offer... the most frenetic at least.

Here is the Making-of for Little Witch Academia.  Watch at your leisure.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-5Bs9IfCp4
